Multiple Sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that is unpredictable. Multiple Sclerosis can be relatively benign to being very devastating. Multiple Sclerosis disrupts the communication between the brain and the many other parts of the body. Many doctors of investigators have belief that Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body, through its immune system, launches a defense attack against its own tissues.

What are the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis?
The initial symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis are often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye.
