But studies indicate that, in about half of all patients, the disease will inexorably progress towards severe disability or premature death (Kidd PM 2001). The inherent unpredictability of the disease has prompted some scientists to propose that MS is not a single disease at all. Rather, they postulate, it falls within a spectrum of disorders, characterized as inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (Weinshenker BG 1995).
