Visit for more info @ http://www.bigmarketresearch.com/multiple-sclerosis-in-the-us-2015-2019-market Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory medical condition, which results in demyelination, axonal transection, and neurodegeneration of the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord. The immune system of the body targets the neurons within the CNS and damages the myelin sheath. It is a potentially debilitating disease, causing disruption in the communication and coordination functions of the body.

Optic Neuritis is a condition that results in the inflammation of the optic nerve. This is the nerve responsible for vision. The optic nerve is among the first targets of the immune system that has been corrupted by MS.
