My name is Jean, I have been diagnosed and living with ulcerative colitis now for 6 years. It has become unbearable. I work 40 hours a week as an administrator. these years have been mostly unbearable. I have tried most of the medications without much success and my symptoms are getting worse.I am due another colonoscopy in a couple of months and fear every time of getting colon cancer. I am 57 years old and my life has been literally controlled by this awful disease. I use mind control most of the time to deal with it. It’s getting very scary to me to see what comes out of my body, I want to screammmmm. I wrote a little poem to express my conclusion:

Colon Removal, here I come. no more fear, nowhere to run.I can’t keep on living this way, so much pain and misery everyday.no dates, not even a love tap, someone help me to get my life back.

I feel like a victim of a demon who came in the night,and hexed me with something he knew I’d have to fight.So, fight, fight, I have and never will surrender,But one thing I will always remember:the others who struggle with this disease,who have hidden in the shadows like me, afraid, humiliated and appalled,don’t give up, there is hope for us all!Medications: any medication details you want people to know about you with regards to colitis…I am taking the medication “Lialda” at present and it helps only a little. not enough!

sorry its such a long question :I i jusrt wanted to know, because my grandmother is bedridden with ms, and has been for about 40years (she is 56), she is in hospital at the moment in ICU, she nearly died, id go into detail but yeah, really appreciate real answers, thanks (: xx (oh and im 13, lol )

"a small number of patients have malignant MS, which is marked by a rapid decline that leads to disability and possibly death. MS is rarely fatal, however, and most people with the disease have a normal life expectancy." ( Ed Zimney MD, Health Talk Medical Reference.)

You can die from some of the complications arising from having MS – usually respiratory distress or pneumonia. one study states that: "Median observed survival time was 38.0 years from symptom onset."

"the simple, profit-free truth is: a healthy diet can stop this disease. a hard look at the evidence will lead all but the "financially tainted" to the conclusion that the time has long passed to change the way people with MS are treated."

Maddy, you poor thing. I feel for you and your family. My daughter is 18 now, but was about 7 or 8 when I was diagnosed. Thank the Lord I'm functioning and walking. There is no timetable for MS. its a very individual disease. unfortunately that's as real an answer you're gonna get. I'm sorry you're going through this, but as with any illness, enjoy the people you love for as long as you have them with you. Stay strong.

Hi, Maddy,

MS is an illness that is often compared to a roller coaster. People can have very serious symptoms and then go back to feeling better.

Many people with MS have been diagnosed with CCSVI (Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency) which means that they have a thickening in their veins where the blood drains from the brain. Veins take the cellular waste away from the brain. When they are thick or blocked, they don't do a good job removing the wastes and a buildup of iron or other unneeded elements sits in the brain and can add to the difficult physical symptoms of MS.

A doctor in Italy named Dr Zamboni (yes, just like the machine that smooths the ice before hockey games), found these blockages and came up with a way to open the veins so that the blood can drain more freely. here is some more information: sanoviv.com/medical-services/ccsv… and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_cer…

It would be good if you shared this information with your parents, or your grandmother when she is feeling better. That way you can be part of the team that is dedicated to your grandmother's improved health.

Wishing you and your grandmother a healthy and happy year.

Sorry about your grandma. MS itself is not fatal. usually the complications brought about by the illness are responsible for the death of a person with MS. these complications can range from bed sores getting to something much worse to liver and other internal organ problems.

I am not a doctor but as a person with MS for the past 14 years I can assure you MS is not terminal.

Take care and be well,

Alex

A lack of awareness of learning difficulties can be to the detriment of not only our children, but also the nation. INTAN MAIZURA AHMAD KAMAL finds out more

YOUR child is a school-going, bright child, but he just can’t seem to pay attention. He doesn’t listen to instructions, underperforms in school and always gets his letters and numbers mixed up. is he lazy? too playful, or simply rebellious?Sound familiar?

These are not symptoms that parents should ignore, advises Sei Herng San, programme consultant with KidzGrow, a centre that provides brain-based therapy programme to help kids between the ages three and 16 improve their learning ability and performance.

“Some parents feel that it’s quite normal and something that the child will outgrow as he gets older. Others make the conclusion that their child is basically born naughty, slow or stupid, so they don’t do anything. or they decide to wait and see.” and that’s the worst thing a parent can do.

A huge part of the problem, says saw Hooi Chen, KidzGrow director, is that they are unaware that there is a problem. Awareness of LD, (or learning difficulties), remains rather sketchy. “why we want to create awareness is because we’re dealing with something so specialised, so misunderstood, and neglected in a way. Twenty-five to 30 per cent of the population have some form of learning issues. These issues actually stop a child from maximising his or her potential.”With a wry smile, she continues: “It’s like you’re a Porsche, but you’re moving around like an ordinary car. now with neuro-science and the programmes we run, we know we can enhance the brain-processing speed so you can have a better quality of life.”

LD is a disorder that affects a person’s ability to interpret what he sees or hears, or link information from different parts of the brain. Contrary to popular belief, a child with LD is quite smart. Yet, at school, he is the struggling learner. He has trouble reading and writing and lags peers no matter how many hours he puts in. “We want to say it’s normal to have LD,” says saw, who stumbled into this business when looking for something to help her nephew. “But you need to be able to recognise it and do something about it.”LD is a neurological condition where certain areas of the brain are wired differently, she explains. Depending on which area is affected, the result can be anything between attention deficit disorder, attention deficiency hyperactivity defect, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, auditory processing disorders and visual processing disorders. People with LD are just as smart as the next person, stresses Kuala Kangsar-born Sei, a psychology graduate from National Taiwan University. the only reason they have difficulty learning is because they’re unable to see properly, hear properly or focus their attention long enough to learn. and of course, they then get mislabelled and punished for problems they can’t actually help.These disorders, chips in saw, are medical conditions, not behavioural or academic problems, and it’s possible to correct them with the appropriate therapy. But sadly, they continue to exist because of ignorance. Creating awareness, she adds, is the first step towards saving children afflicted with these conditions from being misjudged or worse, neglected. Parents, too, need to be educated on proper treatment so they can save their kids from a potential life of mediocrity. saw says: “We believe that everyone, kids included, can be motivated if they don’t have a problem. We all have the potential to accomplish more. Every one of us has a factor that can be our motivator. “for kids, it’s even easier. If they’re not motivated, the first thing we do is get them assessed. the kids go through an evaluation test known as the Learning Skills Evaluation so our therapists can get a better understanding of the areas that need to be developed and then recommend a programme which suits the child’s need.”the programmes at KidzGrow are designed to equip the child with learning skills by retraining their brain. Each programme focuses on developing different areas of the child’s skills — reading, writing, concentration and fine motor skills.Sei says: “It’s important for parents to come and see us as early as possible. When they come in late, the child is already so frustrated and demoralised, which makes it harder to sort out his behaviour. You end up with more issues to solve.” One of the challenges that the newly married Sei faces as programme consultant here is managing parents’ expectations. “It’s not easy when they come in late and they expect instant improvement,” she says, smiling wryly. “the child may be smart but you want him to catch up with everything that he’s not been able to do for the last five years, in six to eight weeks? That’s a miracle!”is LD a serious problem in Malaysia?saw nods. “If you go by the statistics, 25 to 30 per cent of the population has this issue, so it’s serious. in the US, 60 per cent of the delinquents have LD issues. They drop out of school and get embroiled in a life of crime. “in Malaysia, where we’re trying to push towards developed nation status and derive world-class talent from our youngsters, you can’t afford to let this problem go untackled.” for details, email kl@kidzgrow.com.my or pg@kidzgrow.com.my, or visit kidzgrow.com.my.
