Causes Multiple Sclerosis?
MS is an autoimmune condition. This refers to the malfunctioning of the immune system and it attacks a healthy part of the body (that is, the brain or spinal cord), causing damages to underlying nerves that carry messages to the bain.
This slows down or disrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body.
Exactly what causes the immune system to act in this way is unclear, but most experts think a combination of genetic and environmental factors is involved.
How is MS Diagnosed?
It’s most commonly diagnosed in people in their 20s, 30s and 40s although it can develop at any age.
Doctors would normally use the following tests in ruling out the possibility of other conditions that might produce similar signs and symptoms:

- Spinal Tap (for fluid samples)
- MRI
- Response to stimuli tests
