A member asked:
Is wearing away of myelin sheath what causes nerve damage? can myelin sheath grow back to reverse damage? i have heard yes and no from doctors.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's one cause: Demyelenating disease is just one cause of nerve damage that can occur over the course of a lifetime. Some scientists have found that the body can recruit the cells that make myelin to start making it again, but this process is very slow and incomplete.Researchers are working on finding ways to stimulate the repair of myelin and ways to protect myelin and the cells that make it from further damage
