Based on historical records, the earliest written record of someone with MS-like symptoms was Lydwina of Schieden, Dutch patron saint of ice skaters, in 1400. However, it was Dr. Jean Martin Charcot who first categorized, described, and documented the disease in 1868. Charcot, professor of neurology at the University of Paris, wrote the first complete description of MS and the changes in the brain which accompany it.
