Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition that affects the brain and/or spinal cord, resulting in a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. Around 100,000 people in the UK are affected by the condition. MS is said to be an autoimmune condition which results in the immune system mistakenly attacking healthy body tissue.

MS damages and hardens the nerves, disrupting nerve signals. MS is not solely inherited; but it’s caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors are thought to cause the disease. The most common symptoms include: fatigue, numbness and tingling, mobility problems, muscle weakness and tightness as well as pain, speech and swallowing difficulty; problems with thinking and planning and bowel and bladder issues.
