Hypnotherapy for MS

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is classed as an autoimmune disease. The suffers immune system begins to attack the myelin coating that protects nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This can cause various issues including fatigue, numbness, sight problems, loss of balance, co-ordination and loss of muscle control. The eventual damage to the nerves causes scar tissue which can be seen under an MRI scan. No one knows why the disease starts but theorists believe that there may be a genetic predisposition that is triggered by something in the environment. The most common age group to suffer from multiple sclerosis are those between 20 and 40. There is no known cure for multiple sclerosis but some sufferers have extended remission periods. Multiple sclerosis is a progressive disease that is seldom fatal and there is little difference in the normal life expectancy of a sufferer.
