Life with MS is like rolling coaster driving

They say that it may be a month of mental health, and multiple sclerosis does not cause only physical problems. In fact, frequent side effects are depression and cognitive problems, as are those associated with mood swings and emotional outbreaks. About the outbursts I could write a book, and probably every one of you. Changing your mood is a wonderful thing, because in one day you go through all the "emotions" the problem is only when the "shower" is the most common, or when you realize that your mood is best understood by Angry birds.

Life with us is an unforgettable adventure and our partners actually have the happiness that they are never bored. If there are those free ones and need an ad for some of the rugged portals, the ad could read: I'm looking for a partner, I guarantee that he will never be bored again with him, he will be like a rollercoaster ride ....

Mood changes are quite normal in patients with MS. It is no rarity to burst into laughter in the ultimate for unsuitable situations. We have completely new skills: crying for no reason, anger without justice, or absolute indifference. We can be frustrated with things that have never frustrated us. It is quite normal to change these moods in the same day, so that not all emotions are able to get off in a very short time. When you are aware of this, there is a new challenge for all of us, the need to understand each emotion and to learn to turn them in a positive direction.

Actually, this pain makes you adjust to some adjustments that can be extremely strange .. For example, because of memory problems (it seems to me that short-term memory does not really work for me at all) you have a house full of paper, alarms on your cell phone and reminders. It's completely normal that you never know where the keys are, where is the cell phone, where you are going ... just a little .. what I write about ... what I wanted to say .... wonderfully ... it's great sometimes I forget everything. Some things that could irritate me, for example, I must have forgotten them, so I do not even get annoyed at all ... And it's great when everything comes out of your hands, I've had some of these guests constantly had some family celebrations and holidays, ... I realized how I need a new set of glasses, but also a plate. and you can always justify yourself with the story of how it is now in fashion...

ALL ABOUT MS Treatment (Part 9)

ALL ABOUT MS Treatment (Part 9) Glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) This drug has similar effects and indications as interferon beta but a slightly different mechanism of action. It is applied at a dose of 20 mg, daily, subcutaneously. Side effects are also somewhat different, and include skin changes at the drug site and transient and short-term feeling of tightness in the chest with heart palpitations and a sense of lack of air. Natalizumab (Tysabri) This medicine is administered intravenously once a month. It works by preventing the immune system's entry into the brain and thus reducing the inflammatory (inflammatory) effect of immune cells on the nerve cells. Clinical trials have shown that natalizumab significantly reduces the incidence of attacks in the relapse form of MS, but in three patients it has caused a rare, but often fatal, brain disease. After this, the drug was withdrawn from the market, but in 2006 it was returned because of its positive effects o...

ALL ABOUT MS Treatment (Part 8)

Treatment Since research has shown that MS is an autoimmune disease, two basic approaches, immunosuppression (weakening of the immune response of the organism) and immunomodulation (changing the immune response) are used in the treatment. Numerous studies have shown that in the treatment of MS, the following drugs have success: interferon beta (betaferon, rebif, avonex), glatiramer acetate (copaxone), natalizumab (tysabri), mitoxantrone (novantrone) and some other cytostatics. Interferon beta Interferon beta is a protein that is a natural component of the human organism and is created by the cells of our immune system during defense reactions to external agents, primarily viruses. However, the most important effect this protein has is the so-called. Immunomodulatory effect: interferon beta promotes processes that mitigate the effects and slow down the ankle of multiple sclerosis, while the opposite inhibits it. The exact mechanism by which the interferon beta acts the...

Urinary disorders About one-third of patients have sphincter disorders: an overwhelming need for urinary incontinence, which can sometimes be accompanied by frequent urination (so-called polacizuria), difficulty in urinating, retention (complete inability to urinate) and incontinence (loss of control over the process urinating, so that the urinary bladder empties reluctantly and unexpectedly). Urinary disorders can be accompanied by constipation and incontinence of the stool and impotence. Urinary disorders are very disturbing disorders, which significantly affect the quality of life, personal, professional and social functioning of the patients. Urinary disorders in MS are very common and occur in approximately 96% of patients with MS after 10 years of illness. Urinary disorders can occur at any time during the course of the disease, even at its inception (in about 2% of patients). Some researchers believe that patients in whom the disease begins with problems in the...
