Christina,
Damage only occurs in the Central Nervous System (the brain
and the spine) in MS. None of the
nerve outside of that CNS are damaged. Since the brain and the spine direct all of the body, of course you are going to have symptoms in your arms, legs, hands, feet, etc. But there is no damage to those nerves. Only the nerves that tells that parts what to do.
Does that answer your question, dearheart? If not, let me know.
