Beginning Symptoms of MS

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the nerve coverings throughout the body. MS causes the nerves to deteriorate over time and may eventually result in the inability to speak or walk. Symptoms of MS are not always constant and may flare up and then disappear for a time. According to the Mayo Clinic, women between the ages of 20 and 40 are more likely to develop multiple sclerosis.
