In her presentation MS: Back to the Basics, Dr. Michelle Fabian, attending physician at the CGD MS Center at Mount Sinai discussed the common symptoms of multiple sclerosis, how it's diagnosed, what sub-types of MS exist, and pointed out some known risk factors for MS. Dr. Fabian reminded us just how common MS is but point out that MS is the most common Demyelinating Disease of the Central Nervous system known today. While there is no known cause of MS, reflecting on current findings, Dr. Fabian said that out of all possible risk factors for MS, the only modifiable potential risk factors currently known are Vitamin D and smoking. There have also been multiple studies associating smoking with the risk of getting MS, and also with the risk of a faster progression once a person has MS. Thus, the important of MS patients quitting smoking remain paramount.
