What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? - The Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/neurology_neurosurgery/centers_clinics/multiple_sclerosis/conditions
Multiple Sclerosis - American Academy of Neurology

An unpredictable disease of the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis (MS) can range from relatively benign to somewhat disabling to devastating, as communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted. Many investigators believe MS to be an autoimmune disease -- one in which the body, through its immune system, launches a defensive attack against its own tissues.

Multiple Sclerosis: Practice Essentials, Background, Pathophysiology - Medscape

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease that attacks myelinated axons in the central nervous system, destroying the myelin and the axon in variable degrees and producing significant physical disability within 20-25 years in more than 30% of patients.
