If you receive a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (scluh-roe-sis) (MS), living with this lifelong disease may require lifestyle changes. MS is a disease that causes the nerve's myelin coating to become inflamed and eaten away in patches. When this happens, signals traveling along the affected nerve are disrupted. This interferes with movement and sensation.
