Life After Multiple Sclerosis ~ An MS Patient Goes Public! By : Russ Miles MS (Multiple Sclerosis) is a dread disease diagnosis decree whereby victims are given a SLOW DEATH sentence. The jury, made up of medical doctors or a panel of specialists, examines the body of evidence. It's your body, with its tingling hands, impaired mobility, pain, and abnormal responses to their expensive tests. Once they hand down the verdict, you are told "There is no escape." Just as there is no known cause, millions of once healthy men and women are expected to accept the fact that there is no known cure. To me, it was the equivalent of having a somber judge say, "May God have mercy on your soul!" Perminant Progressive MS (Multiple Sclerosis) One Victim's Dated Report By : Russ Miles When I went from a cane to a four wheel walker ~with a seat ~ people's stress levels dropped dramaticly. I fell down a lot less too. My handicapped, motorized scooter had long since been dispensed with when I had left real estate and had decided I wouldn’t need it. Now, I have another. Now, I have a hard time getting out of the wheelchair onto it. So, is this what is meant by "Progressive?" Early Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis: Difficult But Important By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD How does one make a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis early in its course when treatment can best prevent damage to the brain and spinal cord? The succinct answer is: "With difficulty." I am Multiple Sclerosis By : Ryan Fyfe Hi, my name is Multiple Sclerosis. You know me as a chronic disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. I don't really like that name or title so lets stick with MS for short. I can cause a variety of symptoms, which include: - Changes in sensation - Visual problems - Weakness - Depression - Difficulties with coordination - Difficulties with speech Multiple Sclerosis- what is it? By : smgenie Multiple sclerosis, also known as MS, affects approximately 1 out 1,000 people. Did you also know that women are affected more than men are?

The Signs Of Multiple Sclerosis By : Paolo Basauri - Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System which consist of the brain and spinal cord. It is also called the disease of the “white matter” tissue. White matter consists of nerve fibers which are responsible for transmitting communication signals both internally within the CNS and between the CNS and the nerves supplying the rest of the body. Multiple Sclerosis can be very slow in destroying your CNS, which is why it makes it hard to characteri... The Image of MS By : Wade Gibson What does multiple sclerosis (MS) look like? The answer is not simple. Living With Multiple Sclerosis: A Family Affair By : Stacey Moore MS is a chronic, progressive disease of the central nervous system that affects an estimated 400,000 Americans. Caring about someone with multiple sclerosis can often change the dynamic of a relationship. If you are caring for a loved one with MS, here are a few helpful tips. General Information on Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis information – Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease that involves an inflammatory process at the level of the central nervous system. The disease causes dysfunctions of the body’s nervous cells (neurons), due to destruction of myelin, a substance that surrounds the neurons. Myelin is vital for the proper activity of the nervous system, as it facilitates the transmission of information between neurons. When the nervous cells’ myelin-containing membrane is damaged, the in Interesting Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system. Considering the fact that the disease involves dysfunctions at the level of the nervous system, multiple sclerosis can generate a wide spectrum of symptoms. In the absence of an appropriate medical treatment, multiple sclerosis can aggravate over the years, causing irreversible damage to the entire organism. Multiple sclerosis is mainly manifested through states of pronounced fatigue, body weakness, poorly coo A progress check By : Trevis Gleason It has been a few months now since the re-introductions of Tysabri (natalizumab) back into the U.S. market. The passion with which many MS patients urged the FDA’s panel making the decision was unprecedented. Powerful to the point that, for only the second time in the agency’s history, a drug pulled for safety concerns was allowed for continued use. Spasms and twinges: Warning signs of worse to come?.

We’ve gathered a pretty broad spectrum over the past six months. Multiple Sclerosis. Back on the dating market with MS By : Trevis Gleason Back on the dating market with MS Various Forms of Multiple Sclerosis Treatment By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis involves an inflammatory process at the level of the central nervous system, resulting in the destruction of myelin. Myelin is a substance that surrounds the body’s nervous cells, facilitating the transmission of nervous impulses between neurons. If the integrity of the nervous cells’ myelin is compromised, the transmission of nervous impulses between neurons is perturbed, causing serious neurological dysfunctions. The Benefits of Multiple Sclerosis Therapy By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory neurological disease that can generate a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms. Multiple sclerosis involves the deterioration of myelin, a substance that surrounds the body’s nervous cells. Myelin has a very important role in the transmission of nervous impulses, and if this substance is affected, the entire activity of the nervous system is seriously compromised. Although the actual causes of multiple sclerosis remain unknown, there are several Classification of Multiple Sclerosis Types By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is a complex disease of the central nervous system that also involves the peripheral nerves of the brain and spinal cord. At present, the specific causes of multiple sclerosis are unknown, and thus the disease can’t be efficiently prevented or cured. However, the good news is that multiple sclerosis is not a life-threatening disease and that the existing treatments can successfully keep its generated symptoms under control. With the aid of an appropriate course of treatment, t What are the multiple sclerosis symptoms? By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is a difficult illness that affects more than one million people. Those affected loose control over their senses, because multiple sclerosis attacks the central nervous system, which processes the signals sent from the nerves in the body, making us able to touch, see, smell and everything else. Efficient Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Despite the fact that there is no specific cure for multiple sclerosis in present, existing treatments are effective in slowing down the progression rate of the disease and preventing the development of further complications. Considering the fact that most of the effects of multiple sclerosis are irreversible, it is imperative to timely diagnose the disease and begin the administration of the appropriate course of medications. With the right treatment and with the aid of supportive therapies (ph Consequences of Myelin Destruction in Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease that primarily affects the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system of the body – CNS). In later stages of the disease, multiple sclerosis can involve virtually any innervated section of the body (body parts which contain structures of agglomerated nerve terminations). By affecting the nerve fibers which have the role to transmit signals between the central nervous system and all the innervated organs, multiple sclerosis can cause a multitud Different methods of multiple sclerosis therapy By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that makes it attack the myelin, a substance that protects the nerve endings that are spread throughout the entire body. The central nervous system is responsible for sending the white blood cells and the antibodies attack the viruses and bacteria that threaten to cause infections. When the nervous system is affected by multiple sclerosis it sends these guardian cells against the myelin. The cause of this behavior is not known yet but Factors behind the Progression of Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is a form of autoimmune disease that often causes irreversible impairments at different levels of the nervous system. At present, multiple sclerosis can neither be prevented, nor completely cured. However, the existing treatments are used to slow down the progression of the disease, prolong the periods of remission, ease the symptomatic flare-ups and prevent the development of further complications. The main factor responsible for the development of multiple sclerosis is inapp Factors Suspected of Causing Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Although the exact causes and risk factors of multiple sclerosis are still unknown to modern medical science, it is believed that the disease occurs on the premises of inherited genetic dysfunctions and is triggered by certain environmental factors (either exposure to chemicals or infections with viruses or bacteria). Despite the fact that medical scientists have conducted elaborate research on multiple sclerosis over the last few years, the exact genes that render people more susceptible to dev What is multiple sclerosis and how can we fight against it By : Groshan Fabiola Mutiple sclerosis is a chronic illness of the central nervous system which has effects on the body's defense system. Presumptive Causes of Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola There are many debates over the specific causes of multiple sclerosis. However, in the absence of conclusive evidence, medical scientists can only speculate upon the causes and risk factors behind multiple sclerosis and other similar autoimmune diseases. Although certain theories regarding a series of multiple sclerosis specific triggers have been partially confirmed by recent medical studies, doctors need additional data in order to identify the exact set of multiple sclerosis causes. How is multiple sclerosis diagnosed? By : Groshan Fabiola Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the nerves and causes a lot of vision, balance and control problems. People that have passed half of their lives are usually more at risk of suffering from multiple sclerosis. Roles Played by Nutritional Factors in the Management of Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola Although no diet can compete with existing medication treatments for multiple sclerosis in terms of curative effects, a special regime can help alleviate existing symptoms by controlling a series of biological and chemical processes inside the body. Recent research has revealed the fact that nutrition plays a major role in multiple sclerosis; while an inappropriate diet can amplify the autoimmune response of the body, determining an acceleration in the process of demyelization (destruction of my The Benefic Effects of Cannabis on Patients with Multiple Sclerosis By : Groshan Fabiola According to recently conducted experiments, cannabis can be considered an effective remedy for patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. While at first the symptomatic improvements experienced by patients with multiple sclerosis who have been administered cannabinoid products were thought to be determined solely by psychological factors, later research has revealed that cannabis actually reduces muscular spasms and stiffness characteristic to multiple sclerosis sufferers. The benefic effects
