Here’s a Wise Way to Multiple Sclerosis Recovery Methods

Multiple sclerosis usually, but not always, affects people when they are young adults. it is become active when body immune system damage the central nervous system and create inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.

Types of Multiple Sclerosis

Sudden (acute) relapsing multiple sclerosis
Periods of stability or recovery (known as remissions) followed by sudden episodes of symptoms or disability (known as relapses). About eight out of ten people with MS have relapsing/remitting multiple scleosis at onset.

Secondary progressive of multiple sclerosis
This stage can develop after a period of years in many people who initially have relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis. About half the people with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis develop secondary progressive multiple sclerosis during the first 10 years of their illness.

Primary progressive of multiple sclerosis
Symptoms gradually create & worsen over time. About two to three in 20 people with multiple sclerosis have primary progressive multiple sclerosis at onset.

Although there is an information that dr. Paolo Zamboni from Italy has found the simple way to fully eliminate multiple sclerosis as wrote by Loz Blain on Gizmag, but it still generally accepeted that the treatments only to mitigate symptoms and slow the progression of multiple sclerosis.

Multiple Sclerosis RecoveryHere some signs and symptoms that come up related to this disorder, and it have an effect on the multiple sclerosis recovery method.
Loss of some or all vision in one eye
It's rare to be happened and the person usually recovers (fully or partly) after treatment. A sudden loss or reduction in vision in one eye happens when the nerve to the eye becomes inflamed (known as ‘optic neuritis’). If you have this symptom, you should be referred to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) for a diagnosis.

Leg weakness or paralysis, or loss of control of the bowel or bladder
These symptoms are caused by inflammation around the spinal cord, which is known as transverse myelitis. If you have one of these symptoms, you should be referred for an urgent assessment to rule out causes other than MS and usually to have some steroid.

Fatigue
Fatigue is an overwhelming feeling of tiredness andweariness. If you have fatigue, you should also be given general advice for taking exercise and saving energy using special techniques. At the moment, there are no medicines for fatigue that can be used routinely.

Urinary tract infections
People with multiple sclerosis often get urinary tract infections. If you have a confirmed urinary tract infections, you should be referred to a continence specialist for tests, treatment and advice. Using antibiotics or drinking cranberry juice does not help to prevent urinary tract infections.

Bowel problems
Multiple sclerosis can cause difficulties with bowel control including an urgent need to empty bowels, pain or constipation. You should be given an advice on diet or trying laxatives. If you remain constipated despite trying laxatives, your doctor may discuss using suppositories or enemas.

Muscle spasms and stiffness
If this is a problem for you, your doctor or health worker should look for and treat any pain or infection that may be causing or making the symptoms worse. If problems continue, you should be referred to a specialist physiotherapist who can advise on techniques such as stretching, which can help to prevent stiffness developing. If your family or others help you do the exercises they too should be shown what to do.

Clumsiness and shaking
You should be referred to a specialist neurological rehabilitation team. If you have severe problems, your suitability for an operation to reduce the clumsiness should be assessed.

Pressure sores
If multiple sclerosis leads to limited movement, loss of feeling or the need for a wheelchair, then there is an increased risk of pressure sores. The best approach is to prevent them occurring in the first place by providing pressure-relieving devices or some kind of mattress designed to reduce the chance of pressure sores. The advice should also cover your diet and ways of moving you.

Swallowing difficulties
Sometimes multiple sclerosis can affect the nerves that control swallowing. People who have a problem with swallowing that lasts for more than a few days should be referred to a neurological rehabilitation team for an assessment. You should see a speech and language therapist for further assessment.

I found that multiple sclerosis rarely happen including in Indonesia. It will be difficult, however, to get a fully recovery when it occurs. So, you need to keep health, pals.
