Forms of multiple sclerosis:
What are the similarities and differences?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The underlying biology is similar for everyone, but its course and symptoms vary from person to person.
The majority of people with MS initially have a relapsing-remitting or primary progressive form of MS identified at diagnosis.
