Yes and no. Your immune system is constantly at work, keeping your body temperature regulated and fighting average germs that attack you everyday (including the ones that sneak into your body when you rub your eyes with your hand or when you pick your teeth with a fingernail) and you can't really feel it working then, but you can feel and see the products of its work. For example, puss in a wound is the result of the immune system working to fight bacteria and infection in and around the injury. Also, when you blow your nose during a cold, the thicker, darker mucus that your mom and dad or your doctor says is a good thing is the result of your immune system working hard to get rid of the germs that are getting and keeping you sick. Another sign that your immune system is working is what is called a fever break. A fever break is the result of your body's immune system working extra hard to fight bacteria and because of that hard work, it uses lots of energy, which heats up your body.

Why is multiple sclerosis an insufficient immunological response to pathogens?

It isn't; it is your immune system working properly. The problem is your immune system is firing against a toxin that is lodged in your own body's tissues. When the toxin (now called an antigen) cannot die, your immune system becomes Th1 or Th2 dominant.
