"Visited the ship to do the tour of the Upper decks. This was great! All the staff we met were friendly and informative. All were keen to tell you about the ship with more detail than was provided on the audio tour and answer any questions we had. Afterwards we decided to go for a drink in the wine bar at the stern of the ship. This was a mistake! We tried ordering using their app as did most people but gave up. We tried to order via the staff but eventually gave up waiting. The bar was not busy while we were there and they had 3 staff on. One of whom said he couldn't take orders! Don't know what one of the others was doing apart from talking to the third member of staff which left one to take all the orders!"
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes breakdown of the protective covering of nerves. Multiple sclerosis can cause numbness, weakness, trouble walking, vision changes and other symptoms.
There are no specific tests for MS. The diagnosis is given by a combination of medical history, physical exam, MRIs and spinal tap results. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis also involves ruling out other conditions that might produce similar symptoms. This is known as a differential diagnosis.
Although there is no cure for MS, there are therapies that help reduce the risk of relapses and slow the disease’s progression. Treatment depends on the type of MS.
Mayo Clinic's multiple sclerosis experts provide comprehensive care for more than 4,300 adults and children with multiple sclerosis each year. Mayo Clinic's MS program has earned a national reputation as a top diagnostic and treatment center.
Multiple sclerosis, also called MS, is a disease in which the immune system attacks the covering surrounding the nerves in your brain and spinal cord. This covering is called the myelin sheath.
Multiple sclerosis is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the protective covering of the nerve cells in the brain, optic nerve and spinal cord, called the myelin sheath.
Mayo Clinic researchers are working to improve the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis. Specific efforts include finding causes of the disease and developing strategies for remyelination and axonal repair.
