Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system. This attack causes the protective sheath around nerves to become damaged and can lead to a range of symptoms.
In most people with MS, symptoms get worse during flare-ups but then improve. In some cases, the symptoms of numbness and tingling, blurred vision, dizziness, and pain worsen over time.
It’s also common for people with MS to gain weight due to their symptoms. It’s important to try and reach a moderate weight and maintain it. Being overweight or underweight can worsen MS symptoms.
