Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a non-contagious chronic disease of the brain and spinal cord characterized by a variety of neurologic symptoms caused by demyelination of neurons. Multiple sclerosis results from attack by a patient's own immune system on their central nervous system and is thus categorized as an autoimmune disease.
Multiple sclerosis in fiction
In the television series The West Wing, the US President, Josiah "Jed" Bartlet is revealed to have remitting/relapsing MS. The storylines presenting this to their fictional public have served to destroy myths about MS and educate many viewers about the nature of the disease.
