Multiple sclerosis or MS is a disorder that targets the nervous system and particularly affects the spinal cord and the brain. The nerve cells in the body are usually protected by a covering called myelin which is mainly responsible for the overall good health of the nerves. If MS hits you, then this myelin is damaged. This results in slowing down of the signals sent back and forth from the brain to the body. As more and more nerve cells get affected over a period of time, the other bodily functions which are controlled by the nervous system such as walking, speaking, writing and memory etc. also deteriorates.

It has not clearly been established as to what causes multiple sclerosis. However, genetic conditions and the immune system in general are suspected to have a role in it. Although people in the age group of 20 to 50 years are diagnosed with this disorder, it is the women who are more prone to it. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, then you would be heartened to know that you are not the only one. Thousands of patients suffering from MS in Canada now have the support of the Canadian government which has tried to ease the financial pressures of the patients suffering from this disorder by providing them with disability tax credit benefits.

The symptoms of MS include weakness of the muscles, visual impairment, numbness or prickling sensation, memory related problems and loss of balance or coordination. These may vary from mild to severe and last for a short or long duration. These usually result in other forms of mental changes such as reduced concentration levels, depression, inability to perform tasks in order and reduced attention span. In severe forms, patients also suffer from sexual dysfunction and their bladder control and movements get affected. Under conditions of heat, this disorder intensifies in most of the cases.

The various types of MS are Benign MS, Relapsing MS, secondary progressive MS and primary progressive MS. Although there is no cure for it, medications will help in controlling the symptoms from further developing. Physical therapy is a common treatment method. The disability benefits extended by the Canadian Revenue Agency will help you survive the ordeal and the financial burden that is associated with it.

Do you know whether Michael J. Fox has MS or Parkinson's? Whichever it is, the strangest thing happens with him. When he's ice skating the symptoms totally disappear! He said that's where he feels completely free.
