Most people experience their first symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) between the ages of 20 and 40 years old. MS is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the transmission of nerve impulses. In some cases, multiple sclerosis can render a person unable to speak, write, or walk. White people are more than twice as likely as other races to develop multiple sclerosis and, in general, women are affected at almost twice the rate of men.
