This is showing the amount of people living with MS in multiple countries. The numbers at the top are in one hundred thousand people. This graph shows that the United Kingdom has the highest amount of people living with Multiple Sclerosis and that the US is ranked 12th. This graph got its information from multi-sclerosis.org.
This shows how Multiple Sclerosis attacks the human body. It explains that T cells slip out of the blood veins and attack the myelin sheaths- the covering on the outside of the nerve fibers- and them after the T cells strip the sheaths the nerves progressively destroyed. Once a nerve cell has been damaged there is a possible but almost no chance of ever regaining usage of that nerve. Also on the right side it shows three of the types of medicines that are used to slow down MS and how they work.
