MS is a disabling disease where the Immune system of the body attacks the Central Nervous System of the body, causing disability and mobility issues in patients. Without proper care and treatment, the patient becomes wheelchair bound and eventually becomes bedridden. There is no known cause of MS and there is no known cure so far.

Common symptoms of MS include chronic fatigue, numbness and tingling, balance and coordination issues, spasticity and stiffness, bladder and bowel dysfunction, muscular spasms, hazy and blurry vision, temporary blindness, heat or cold intolerance, cognitive dysfunction, brain fog and many more.

Every day is a challenge for MS patients, which brings new hurdles and obstacles that have to be overcome. Join hands with the Society for Multiple Sclerosis Patients in Pakistan to show your support for MS warriors fighting this invisible illness. Wear orange on World MS Day to show your support and raise awareness. Spread the word around and help us fight this war against MS! #LetsBeatMS #MS #SMSPP #WorldMSDay #MultipleSclerosis #SPSPakistan #RaisingAwareness
