Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the world, with 250 out of every 100,000 people affected. MS is an autoimmune disease in which elements of the immune system that are designed to protect us — white blood cells and antibodies — instead begin to damage the brain and spinal […]

Both of these diseases share some symptoms and are both considered autoimmune diseases, meaning your body’s immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues. But there are some distinct differences and different treatments that separate the two.
Worldwide, more than 2.8-million people are living with multiple sclerosis. To better understand the disease we’re breaking down everything you need to know including what it is, what it means for patients, and the current outlook.

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are often confused with each other because they share some similarities, but they are definitely two completely separate conditions with major differences.
Multiple Sclerosis can affect both genders differently, but since it’s more common in women, we’ve compiled a list of the most common signs and symptoms of MS in women.
Even though there is no known cure for this complex disease, early diagnosis can prevent further damage, such as total vision loss and paralysis. We look into the 14 most common signs and symptoms associated with MS.
