Multiple sclerosis
From DrKoop's partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. In this progressive disorder, inflammation destroys the protective myelin nerve covering, leaving multiple areas of scar tissue (sclerosis). Symptoms and severity of symptoms vary widely and may progress into episodes of crisis alternating with episodes of remission.
