system.
The exact cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown, and researchers are
working to understand its risk factors and how people can modify their
risk.

Sleep is essential to health, helping the body maintain its typical
functions. But researchers are still working to understand the health
benefits of sleep and the dangers of poor sleep. One area of interest is

The impact of multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder with damage to the central
nervous system. Generally, the symptom onset occurs between the ages of 20
to 40.
People with multiple sclerosis can experience a wide range of symptoms.The
condition can cause someone to experience increased disability over time.
People with multiple sclerosis may have muscle weakness, problems with
vision, dizziness, and numbness.
It is unclear why certain people develop multiple sclerosis. It could be
related to a response by the body’s immune system. People with a family
member with multiple sclerosis may have increased susceptibility to
developing the disorder.
