Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that degenerates the central nervous system. Multiple sclerosis occurs when the myelin sheath, the protective covering which coats never cells, is damaged and consequently slows or stops nerve impulses. Remission is possible, but the disease can also progress and continue to get worse without remission.
