Doctors who treat Multiple Sclerosis are called neurologists. They have specialized training in the nervous system and the brain. Neurosurgeons are doctors who operate on the brain or the spinal cord. Ask your doctor to refer you to a neurologist in your area. From my experience, if you need a diagnosis go to a large teaching hospital. After you have a diagnosis, go to a neurologist close enough to your home so that an appointment is not a tremendous drain on you physically and emotionally. Find a Doctor Who will LISTEN to you and your caregiver. If your doctor will not listen to both of you, move on until you find one. A good neurologist and a good relationship with that doctor is the key to LIVING with MS.

How does multiple sclerosis affect the body with or without medication?
Multiple sclerosis affects the central nervous system by causing a breakdown of the myelin sheath surrounding certain nerve fibers. The myelin sheath is a fatty layer surrounding the nerves that acts much like the insulation around an electrical wire. When it is destroyed, the impulses carried by these nerves generally become ineffective to the point where the parts of the body served by these nerves become erratic or non-functional. The nerve damage is in the spinal column and the brain.
