You have multiple sclerosis!

You have multiple sclerosis.

First day

When I heard the diagnosis, the flood of the world! All the ships sank, because I was very aware of what this disease is, my mother has the same! I can not even describe all the feelings that have captured me ...

The second day

I can not admit it! I'm really tired of tears, but then I cried crocodile tears.

Third day

What now? Internet: "It's a disease they do not know how it is created, they do not know how it evolves, they do not know the therapy and they have no medicine." For me, this is a coma. I know I do not know anything. How can I fight this disease at all, when I do not know what I'm fighting with?

The fourth day - And he still lasts

Again the Internet, now it really angers me. I have not yet had two of the same experiences with MS. The Internet is a wonderful thing, everything is available and you can find everything you want (or in my case you find everything you do not want), but the more you read, the more confused you are. Too much information. I must, stop bowling MS! I'm getting into depression. I feel it.

Nikola think ... there is no depression, you have to organize something that's your job. And so I found the solution to fight multiple sclerosis, my new life companion, which I did not want, but she came and there she is. The solution is to organize yourself. How?

My mission! I'm going to fight this wondrous disease in the way I deal with it. It sounds like a totally idiotic sentence! But that's the only way I can. It's my way. I had to get sick to clit something in my head and organize myself and deal with the disease. My bowling was fruit.

I pulled out a very quick conclusion that nothing is silent. The cause is not known, there is no medicine, everyone is different, and the result of all the patients is confused. What's left for them? As well as myself, bowling, forums, social networks and key linking and experiences of people with disabilities. Teams that have the same thing and the same troubles. The rest is history ...

The conclusion that can now share with you: Multipla is the incurable (for now) buth exit the shell in which the patients are often drawn and refuse to come out. Depression is one of the most common side effects of our multiple, which often does not come alone. Join, connect, create your own small team wherever you live. As much as it sounds funny to you to hang out with people and listen even more about this damn disease, believe me, it helps. Understanding. Make an environment where you feel normal, healthy as before.

And do not forget MS is just a part of us, not what we are..

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...

ALL ABOUT MS Symptoms of MS (Part 4)

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...
