Mostly, it is believed as a chronic condition with no cure. In Dr. Prasanth’s view, Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological condition involving multi-system, including the metabolic, endocrine, immune and psycho-neurological systems. The symptoms depend on the pathology and severity of the disease in a given individual. Some commonly observed symptoms in MS include gait problems (difficulty walking), vision problems, extreme fatigue, bowel and bladder issues, muscle weakness, anxiety, depression and stress.
