Multiple Sclerosis Explained: Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is often called “the disease of a hundred faces” because it can look different for every patient. In this episode of Baptist Health Talk, neurologist Dr. Luis Compres-Brugal breaks down the early warning signs of MS, how it’s diagnosed, and what modern treatments mean for patients today.

From fatigue and brain fog to vision changes and mobility challenges, we explore the symptoms people most commonly search for—and the ones that often go unnoticed. You’ll also learn what causes MS, how it’s frequently misdiagnosed, and why early, aggressive treatment can make a major difference.

If you or someone you love is experiencing neurological symptoms, this episode offers clear, expert-backed guidance to help you understand what’s happening and what to do next.
