Multiple Sclerosis?

[jewhite22]

I am doing a neurological paper on MS. I am having difficulty finding a particular answer on my own. Do you know how MS attacks ones own Central Nervous System, in a neurological sense?

The first answer was exactly right. I was diagnosed over 4 years ago, I could move my arm but it was incredibly slow, and my fingers were worthless, like I couldn't tie my shoes or wash my hair. The myelin sheath falls wears away and sits on your brain basically. They call it "plaque" because there are spots on your brain of the myelin build up. So it doesn't hit your whole brain at once, it hits spots, which is why its so unpredictable, you never know what spot its going to hit next. Lay person's version, here!
