MS symptoms vary in their intensity and location on the body. While some MS symptoms are hardly noticeable, others can cause great pain and discomfort for the patient. MS is a chronic, incurable disease. However, it can be kept under control through a combination of medication and therapy. MS symptoms are mainly caused by the abnormal nerve cell activity in the brain.
There are four groups of MS: a clinically isolated syndrome (CAS), relapsing-reoccurring MS (rrMS), mixed-type MS and primary progressive MS. Clinically separated syndrome (CS) is when a patient has only one episode of MS symptoms over an extended period of time. Relapsing-reoccurring MS is when multiple episodes of MS symptoms occur over a long period of time with no break between them.
Relapsing-relapsing MS is a type of MS that progresses from mild to moderate MS. It is usually genetic and not associated with other conditions. Patients with CIS have myelin loss along with the other classic signs and symptoms of MS. Myelin is a fatty tissue found in the brain, which provides the nerves with the messages they need to function normally. The myelin in affected myelin is replaced, as in the case of depression, by another substance called vesicular acid.
Clinical studies have shown that the long-term outcome of patients with MS is often worse than the short-term outcome. Long-term relapse is due to the failure of the MS system to adjust to changes in the environment or stimuli. As the disease progresses, there is a tendency for the MS system to lose control, resulting in exacerbation of symptoms. The long-term relapse rate of MS has been estimated at 50%. relapse | patients | disease | multiple sclerosis | relapse | sclerosis} In addition to relapses occurring during periods of remissions, relapses can occur during periods of MS flare-ups. This is also common in patients who are in the late phases of the disease. MS flare-ups are periods of abnormally elevated symptoms. Irregular relapses are common in patients with multiple sclerosis and affect approximately 15% of patients. Relapses occur when the body is trying to protect itself from any perceived threat or danger.
MS sufferers have all the classic MS symptoms such as persistent pain, stiffness and a loss of muscle co-ordination. Some of these symptoms can be alleviated by using drugs or other treatments, while others continue even after extended periods of remissions. Some MS symptoms may be associated with a lack of numbness, such as weakness or numbness in the hands or feet. This can lead to slipping, and falling. It can also make climbing stairs or using crutches difficult. There are several ways in which MS sufferers can numb the affected area, in order to compensate for the lack of sensation.
In many cases, however, MS symptoms are felt first, before the patient experiences numbness or any other effect. When MS symptoms start to appear, they should be investigated by a medical practitioner such as a doctor, based on the doctor's experience. An MS healthcare team should also be consulted. If there is a confirmation that MS is present, the doctor may choose to treat the MS with drugs or interferon, in conjunction with the patient's attempts to find a cure.
Although MS typically affects the hands, knees and spine, some people can also suffer from sensory problems. In such cases, the MS symptoms may be so severe that they affect the eyes, ears or mouth. In addition to a decreased sense of touch and a loss of coordination, MS symptoms may also include hearing loss, blurred vision and speech problems. While MS does not have a cure, it does have ways of coping with its debilitating effects.
