Multiple sclerosis is a complex autoimmune disease that is thought to be caused by an overactive immune system attacking the nervous system. This is a progressively degenerative disease that often affects more women than men, and can cause disability and even death in as little as under a decade. While there have been advances in the understanding and treatment of MS, there hasn’t been a cure that is able to send the disease into remission. Doctors are always on the lookout for effective medications, and biologics have shown promise via the dampening of the immune system, helping the body not attack itself, thereby slowing down the progress of this tragic disease. As with any nervous system disorder, early diagnosis and treatment are critical, as some of the damage done by this disease may be irreversible. As a result, it is important that your primary care doctor diagnose you as early as possible so you are given a fighting chance at preserving your health. Late diagnosis, or misdiagnosis can be grounds for a multiple sclerosis medical malpractice lawsuit, and it would be an honor to help you get the justice and compensation you deserve after your doctor failed to meet a certain standard of care that is typical for doctors in their region with regard to diagnosis of chronic illness.
