Think MS is just about nerve damage? There’s a deeper story. Inside your brain, specialized immune cells called microglia are meant to protect you. But in MS—and other inflammatory brain conditions—they turn rogue. These microglia trigger damage to a critical support cell called the oligodendrocyte—the one responsible for maintaining myelin, the insulation that protects your neurons. When that insulation gets stripped away, signals between brain cells get scrambled—leading to the symptoms of MS: weakness, numbness, vision issues, and more. But here's the kicker: Microglial inflammation isn't just about MS. It’s also behind brain fog, fatigue, memory lapses, and even mood issues in everyday life.
