Find the triggers behind your MS symptoms.

People with severe cases of MS often have trouble maintaining balance or walking without assistance. Those with milder cases may experience occasional flares of less debilitating MS symptoms followed by periods of remission that can last for months or even years.

While no cure exists, people with MS can manage their symptoms, slow nerve damage, and improve their quality of life. Left untreated, depending on the prognosis, MS can cause permanent nerve damage, muscle weakness and eventually, paralysis.

MS symptoms and triggers vary widely, often depending on the amount and location of nerve damage as well as personal sensitivities, cross-reactivities and other factors. As with many other autoimmune diseases, there is no typical pattern of MS symptoms, as every case is unique.
