Hey fellas.
I believe the answer to your question is:
The Myelin Sheath is destroyed. In several places...hence ''Multiple''.
Great to see you guys are nearing the end of the trip! Can't wait to hear about it all. See you soon.

Hi Don,Karl,Devin and Mason
I think the answer is the Myelin Sheath that covers the Axon. We are all very proud and THANK YOU for helping us beat this MonSter.
Stay safe and we are praying for you.

the myelin is destroyed, but the myelin is actually the layer outside the nueron. The part of the nueron which is affected is the axon.
In all my medical career, I would believe it to be the Myelin. Thank you guys for making our day at work a little more exciting!

Hi guys,
Surrounding the neuron is a fatty layer known as the mylin sheath. This is destroyed through a process called demylination. This causes massive scarring (scleroses) on the sheaths. Hence the name multiple sclerosis. Keep pedaling! Mary B
By the way...i wear a small :)
