This year I want us to come together to support and donate to WALK MS this is something that is very close to my heart🧡
If you or you know of someone that lives with MS then you know the struggles, tears, frustration and pain.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes breakdown of the protective covering of nerves. Multiple sclerosis can cause numbness, weakness, trouble walking, vision changes and other symptoms. It's also known as MS.
In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers, known as myelin. This interrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Eventually, the disease can cause permanent damage of the nerve fibers.
Symptoms of MS depend on the person, the location of damage in the nervous system and how bad the damage is to the nerve fibers. Some people lose the ability to walk on their own or move at all. Others may have long periods between attacks without any new symptoms, called remission. The course of the disease varies depending on the type of MS.
There's no cure for multiple sclerosis. However, there are treatments to help speed the recovery from attacks, modify the course of the disease and manage symptoms.
Multiple sclerosis Symptoms may change over the course of the disease depending on which nerve fibers are affected.
Common symptoms include:
Numbness or tingling.
Electric-shock sensations that happen with certain neck movements, especially bending the neck forward. This sensation is called Lhermitte sign.
Lack of coordination.
Trouble with walking or not being able to walk at all.
Weakness.
Partial or complete loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time. Vision loss often happens with pain during eye movement.
Double vision.
Blurry vision.
Dizziness and a false sense that you or your surroundings are moving, known as vertigo.
Trouble with sexual, bowel and bladder function.
Fatigue.
Slurred speech.
Troubles with memory, thinking and understanding information.
Mood changes.
Small increases in body temperature can temporarily worsen symptoms of MS. These aren't considered true disease relapses but pseudorelapses.
