Multiple Sclerosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system in which the body's own defense system damages the layer that covers and protects the nerve fibers, disrupting the transmission of signals between the brain and the rest of the body.
How it can present: Symptoms vary greatly from person to person and include fatigue, vision disturbances, tingling, weakness, or balance problems that may come and go.
Variable course: It usually occurs in episodes, with periods of greater and lesser activity, which is why follow-up is important.
Who treats it? The neurologist is the specialist who studies and follows up on multiple sclerosis, with support from the physical therapist and rehabilitation medicine. In the case of persistent or changing neurological symptoms, it is advisable to have them evaluated by a professional.
