Diffuse sclerosis - what does this mean
Diffuse sclerosis is a neurological disorder caused by an autoimmune reaction in which the body's own immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve cells, causing inflammation and damage to the myelin, leading to disruption of nerve signals and loss of nerve function.
What happens during the disease - diffuse sclerosis
Diffuse sclerosis is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the myelin sheath, the protective layer that covers the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. this damage disrupts the communication between the nerves and the brain, leading to a wide range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, fatigue, vision problems, and cognitive impairment. the exact cause of diffuse sclerosis is unknown, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
