5 THINGS that ill from multiple sclerosis will not say

5 THINGS that ill from multiple sclerosis will not say If you have a spouse, child, relative or friend suffering from multiple sclerosis, you need to know about some of the problems that come with this disease, and they have not been told. And very probably this is only a small part of the overall problems that this person is wearing. MS brings with it some invisible symptoms that can be difficult to explain to those who do not suffer from this disease. I bring you the 5 most common problems with whom they are worn and who probably did not explain it to you. 1. I do not stand when people tell me "I'm tired." For patients suffering from multiple sclerosis fatigue is an integral part of life. The problem is that many people hold this fatigue with a common fatigue, which heals sometimes feel. That does not mean literally "I'm tired". When people tell me "I understand you completely and I'm tired I did not sleep at all tonight," I do not know what ...

ALL ABOUT MS Pregnancy and MS (Part 13)

ALL ABOUT MS Pregnancy and MS (Part 13) Given that MS is largely a disease of women, and also of young women, there is a special topic of the relationship between this disease and pregnancy, or birth. MS does not increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. It has not been shown that there is an increased incidence of preterm delivery, birth defects, inborn deformations, or early death of the newborn. However, exceptions are possible. Delivery in women with MS does not differ from birth in healthy women. The method of delivery is determined by the gynecologist according to gynecological criteria. Previously, spinal anesthesia was thought to increase the risk of postpartum deterioration, but the use of modern epidural anesthesia is considered safe and has not been shown to increase the risk of deterioration after delivery. Breastfeeding is recommended and does not increase the risk of deterioration. However, caution is needed if mothers take medicin...

ALL ABOUT MS Treatment (Part 12)

ALL ABOUT MS  Treatment (Part 12) The influence of infections and vaccination on the progression of multiple sclerosis Infections that most often contribute to the deterioration of multiple sclerosis are in most cases of viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Multiple sclerosis sufferers have two to three times the risk of exacerbating the disease if they are infected with viruses, causing these infections. In several recent studies, 30% of the worsening of the disease has been reported to occur in periods when respiratory infections are current. However, this does not mean that any viral infection will result in the deterioration of multiple sclerosis. In addition to viral infections, infectious agents such as chlamydia pneumoniae and mycoplasma pneumoniae can also contribute to the worsening of the disease. In addition to general measures of protection against infections such as nutrition rich in vitamins and minerals, avoiding groups and staying in u...

ALL ABOUT MS Treatment (Part 11)

Treatment of relapse and some symptoms Routine therapy for acute relapses is an intravenous high dose of corticosteroids, usually methylprednisolone at a dose of 500 to 1000 mg daily for three to five days. The aim of this therapy is to stop the attack as soon as possible in order to keep as little a consequence of this attack. Although generally effective in short-term symptom relief, corticosteroids do not have a significant impact on long-term recovery. In addition, longer therapy with corticosteroids can lead to osteoporosis, high blood pressure, psychotic reactions, convulsions, and cataracts. Spasticity, which can be manifested as a permanent contraction caused by an increased muscle tone or transient spasm, is usually treated with muscle relaxants and mitralants such as baclofen, tizanidine, diazepam, clonazepam, and dantrolene. Physical therapy and exercises help preserve existing functions, while various aids, such as a walkway, a stick and a prosthesis, serve to k...
