Multiple Sclerosis & Demyelinating Disorders

Comprehensive care for MS and related disorders, including immunotherapy, relapse prevention, fatigue management, and supportive neuro-rehabilitation.

What is Multiple Sclerosis (MS)?

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system attacks the myelin sheath—the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord. This disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body, leading to a wide range of neurological symptoms.

MS is one of the most common demyelinating disorders and can affect people between the ages of 20 and 50, with a higher prevalence in women.

Common Symptoms of MS:

Numbness or weakness in limbs

  • Vision problems (blurred or double vision)
  • Fatigue and dizziness
  • Difficulty with coordination and balance
  • Slurred speech
  • Cognitive issues (memory, attention, problem-solving)
  • Bladder and bowel dysfunction
  • Tingling, electric-shock sensations with neck movement (Lhermitte’s sign)
MS symptoms vary depending on the area of the nervous system affected and may come and go with periods of relapse and remission.

Other Demyelinating Disorders:

  • In addition to MS, Dr. Sushma Sharma also treats other rare but serious demyelinating conditions:

  • Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO)
    Causes inflammation of the optic nerves and spinal cord, often more severe than MS.
  • Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
    A sudden, intense attack of inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, usually following infections or vaccinations
  • MOG Antibody Disease
    An autoimmune condition similar to NMO, involving inflammation of the optic nerves and spinal cord, often in children and young adults.

Diagnosis of MS & Related Disorders

Dr. Sushma Sharma uses a combination of advanced diagnostic tools to confirm MS or other demyelinating conditions:

  • MRI of the brain and spinal cord to detect lesions
  • Lumbar puncture (CSF analysis) to check for inflammatory markers
  • Blood tests to rule out mimicking diseases
  • Evoked potentials to assess nerve response
  • Antibody tests (AQP4-IgG, MOG-IgG) for NMO/MOG diagnosis
