MS
I
really am still learning about Multiple
Sclerosis.
When I began my relationship with my fiancé
multiple Sclerosis became an important thing in my
life. My
fiancé's mother is afflicted with the illness.
I
am proud to say that her family has been
very
supportive of her. I wish that there was
more that I
could do for her but she is a long ways from me.
MS
is a autoimmune disease that affects the central
nervous system. It affects the Myelin, fatty
tissue, that surrounds and affects the nerve
fibers.
In MS the Myelin is lost in multiple areas causing
scars. These scars are called Sclerosis.
This being the name "Multiple
Sclerosis". With
the Myelin gone the nervous system is unable to
send electronically impulses where they need to
go. Because of this it causes all the symptoms of
MS. Some
of the symptoms of Ms are Bladder Dysfunction,
Bowel Dysfunction, Cognitive Problems, Dizziness
& Vertigo, Emotional Problems, Fatigue,
Walking Problems, Headaches, Hearing Loss,
Itching, Numbness, Pain, Seizures, Sexual
Dysfunction, Spasticity, Speech & Swallowing
Disorders, Tremors, and Vision Problems. You
