Multiple sclerosis is a condition in which the immune system attacks myelin, the sheath that wraps around nerve cells. The symptoms of MS can vary widely, depending on the nerves that are affected. Some common MS symptoms are extreme fatigue, numbness and tingling, vision problems, and weakness or balance problems.
