So what is MS? MS, or multiple sclerosis to give the condition its full name, is a condition that affects both the brain and the spinal cord. Myelin is a coating that covers the nerves in our body and helps to ensure they can send messages wherever they need to go.

However, the immune systems in people with MS decide this coating is a foreign body that needs to be destroyed. Losing this vital substance can have significant effects on our health, alongside a host of side effects.
