Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. MS is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between the brain and the body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot be predicted. The most common form of MS is relapsing-remitting MS, which is characterized by clearly defined attacks of new or worsening symptoms, followed by periods of partial or complete recovery. About 85% of people with MS are initially diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS. Approximately 10-15% of people with MS are initially diagnosed with a progressive form of the disease. The remaining 5-10% of people with MS are diagnosed with a secondary progressive form of the disease, which is marked by a slow accumulation of disability from the time of diagnosis.

A neurologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. A neurologist who specializes in MS is a doctor who has completed a fellowship in MS and has additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of MS. Neurologists who specialize in MS are often called MS specialists.
