Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS).

Damaged myelin forms scar tissue limiting nerve impulses traveling to and from the spinal cord and brain.

Initial signs of cerebral palsy are typically identified in infancy or early childhood but are permanent with no current cure.
