2. Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of central nervous system. Women have it 2-3 times more often than men. In most cases, multiple sclerosis is diagnosed when women are 20-40 years of age. This disease is very dangerous. It may end in paralysis, vision loss and even death. Unfortunately, it is not yet learned to effectively cure this disease.
3. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
For unknown reasons, women are four times more likely to develop chronic fatigue syndrome. The main symptoms of it include constant fatigue, muscle pain, insomnia and memory weakness.
