WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MS AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE?

Answer 1

MS normally begins when younger, at an average age of 35 and almost always before 50, while Parkinson's Disease begins in the late years at an average age of 65 and the likelihood increases as one gets older.

MS is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the covering of the nerves causing nerves not to transmit and receive signals to/from the muscles required for them to function. Parkinson's originates in the brain caused by the loss of dopamine neurons. This causes signals to fail between different parts of the brain that control movement.
