Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often debilitating, autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. This can lead to a wide range of symptoms, from fatigue and numbness to difficulty with balance and coordination.

Navigating MS can be a complex journey, filled with uncertainties and challenges. However, the insights and expertise of experienced nurses can provide invaluable guidance and support. In "What Nurses Know Multiple Sclerosis," we delve into the wealth of knowledge that nurses have accumulated through their frontline experiences.

Nurses play a crucial role in recognizing and interpreting the often-subtle symptoms of MS. They understand how these symptoms can vary from person to person and how they may change over time. Their expertise helps patients differentiate MS from other conditions and receive timely and accurate diagnoses.
