Healthy myelin vs Damaged myelin
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which your immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers the nerves. This sheath is called myelin.
Myelin is the fatty substance that coats and protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. When myelin is damaged, communication between your brain and the rest of the body is disrupted.
