    Multiple sclerosis is a complex disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves) characterized by relapses (neurologic symptoms which appear rapidly but often improve over weeks or months), remissions and often progression of disability over time. MS is currently not a curable disease. MS is thought to be an “immune-mediated” disease, meaning that errors in the function of the immune system cause damage in the central nervous system.
