About Me

My name is Nicola Jojin. I’ve been living with MS since 2012. I am the person who is: very open minds, honest, provocative, imaginative, communicative… My best characteristic is that I am very positiv! With that I must point out that my life can be presented as EKG – Heart beat. There are many things to do, to see, and to experience… I am going to do everything in my power to not let my MS get in the way of doing things that I love. In hard and easy ways, I learned about this disease and want to share my experiences with you, I want to make it easier for someone to fight! But the most important thing is to understand that with MS you can live on a funny way!
My beginnings
My beginnings of MS? It’s a very difficult question to which I can not give you a clear and definite answer, but let’s take the following as my guide through the beginning of everything! I had morning routine – before work (early morning), My routine was: walked the dog by bike or on foot, breakfast, showering, coffee,  going to work… That’s how it starts almost each day, my every morning. I know some would think monotonous, but for me every day was a new trip, every day was different. So, one morning, while I was walking with a dog on our way, my feet were taken away! I could not move my legs an inch. I could move forward, and not back! Feeling: my legs were frozen! Since I was in the nature, I got down on the grass and sat down, I began to think … of course. I remember the feelings at that moment: panic, helplessness, frustration and anger. After some time, for some ten minutes, everything went back to normal, and I could re-operate! My day passed and I did not get to think about what that morning brought me. But the same thing happened to me in a very short time! 3x in one week. The mind wants to go, but the body will not! Worryingly, was not it, it was time to consult with a doctor! The path I passed with doctors for this story is not important, the important thing is the following: In March 2012, I was diagnosed with Multipla Sclerosis. That day when the doctor told me the news, the dive of the world was a wonderful thought for me! I had a positive life even before this knowledge. This has made it possible for me to quickly go through Phases of dealing with MS. It took me only a few days to understand the disease (I missed the Phase of Unbelief and Negation), and I started to think ” Now what, Sherlock” (my exclamation).
And so, my fight with MS began!

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...
