I'm not sure if i have it but i have been researching it a little, and im not sure if its life threatening or not. or if it is common to have the symptoms once in a while or have them everyday? mine dont seem to occur everyday, it just seems to happen once in a while.
My mom has MS.. there are a couple forms, and you can transgress from one to another. She has the relapse-remitting type, meaning she'll be hit by "attacks" every now and then. She, then recovers from them, either naturally or with medicine. if you got a positive outlook on life, you're good. My mom never gives up (tough-spirited for a 5'4" woman). still, she has slowly been on the decline as she's aged.
As I said, you can move form one form of MS to another, and some are altogether debilitating, even very life threatening. if you have MS for 10 years, then you're most likely going to keep the same form for life.
Please see professional consultation… there are many differing treatment or prevention methods, all with their pros and cons.
This link describes the major forms and how a person can change through them:
Best regards.
MS has a unique feature….it is said that the symptoms are scattered in time and place
meaning it occurs for a while then disappear
then it happen again then they disappear
for place it means you can have a weak left leg
then a weak right arm
then a blurred right eye
then decreased feeling over the left side of face
and so on
different things
different times
can it be fatal? unfortunately the answer is yes if it afffects the nerve supplying the diaphragm which is the main muscle of breathing or the pharynx muscles preventing food from entering the air passage
the attacks tend to be more in the spring,after stress,pregnancy and after surgical operations
there is some kind of new drug called interferon that can make the attacks more rare and a personal friend of mine used it and she is free of symptoms for the last 2 years
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that affects your central nervous system, which is your brain and your spinal cord. it is believed to be an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks itself. yes it can kill you if you don't treat it. you should see the doctor if you have numbness or tingling for days or weeks and if it spreads to other parts of your body. you should get plenty of rest and exercise and eat healthy for your immune system.
