What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

• Autoimmune, neurodegenerative, and inflammatory
  condition
• Attacks the central nervous system (CNS)
• Immune system malfunctions, attacking the body's
  own tissues

3
Components of a Healthy Immune System

• Cells, proteins, organs
• Protects against infections (viruses, bacteria,
  etc.)
• White blood cells (lymphocytes) B Cells and T
  Cells

4
Functions of Lymphocytes

• B Cells
• Developed in bone marrow
• Produce antibodies
• T Cells
• Mature in thymus gland
• Release chemicals to destroy foreign substances
• Activate B Cells

5
MS Immune System Malfunction

• As a demyelinating disorder, MS impacts the
  immune system by
• Damaging the myelin sheath of neurons
• Makes the immune system attacks its own cells and
  tissues

6
Role of T-Cells in MS

• T-Cells attack myelin in the CNS
• Release inflammatory chemicals
• Damage nerve fibers and myelin sheath
• They penetrate the blood brain barrier (BBB)

7
Consequences of Myelin Damage

• Scar Tissue Formation
• Disrupts communication between CNS and body
• Affects nerve signal transmission

8

• Common Symptoms of MS
• Fatigue - Severe exhaustion beyond typical
  tiredness
• Abnormal Sensations - Numbness, tingling,
  dysesthesia, allodynia
• Visual and Muscle Symptoms
• Vision Issues - Double or blurry vision
• Muscle Problems - Weakness, balance issues,
  walking troubles
• Additional Symptoms
• Loss of bladder control
• Depression, cognitive impairment

9
Complications of MS

• Osteoporosis
• Pressure Sores
• Swallowing issues leading to inhaling food
  particles
