Question by †My Famous Last Words R Abt McR♥: help please,my mom is ill from MS disease, how will our future be?
if you can calm me down, and say something about this illness, so please read it.
My mother became ill from Multiple Sclerosis disease about 2 years and 3 months ago(mostly because of her brother who had to leave her for studying, she loves her). but after some days, suddenly became healthy, (it was a miracle, so that I cannot explain)
She used to use Avonex ampoule once a week, but after about 6 months, her doctor saw her new MRI and said that there was NO [MS] PLAQUE ON HER BRAIN ANYMORE! (this was again, another miracle, I cannot mention it)and she hasn’t used this ampoule since then.

I know stress and every little upsetting thing, can overturn my mom’s brain.
She also goes mad easily, and starts pushing herself under pressure. (I think every MOM does it!, but it is a bad poison for MY mom)

last year, an unpleasant event took place, and my mom became weaker, OK. but it wasn’t the end of everything.
she’s so essential, she has lost her beloved parents when she was young, and other events…
that time when she was caught by MS, her left eye was the one which throbbed and was near to be blind (thank God, it didn’t happen)
and now, it’s about a few months , she says all her body hurts, I mean her hands/arms/legs/head and …ache.
abt 1 month ago my uncle again left us to go to another country, and she now, she feels her left eye aches.I mean I FEEL.
she tries to do her best to be in a good mood to live her life,and be mother for her 3 children. but we all know she has a big problem, always.

now, her body aches, she has headaches, her hands, her legs…
for 2 years and more, she can’t ever walk a long way again. at the most, 1 kilometer
she can’t stand warmth, can’t stand coldness.
she can’t hold a heavy thing, even a tray of 5 glasses! (
I’ve been always in an alertness for the next attack.
but I know if it happens, everytime, I can’t handle it. who can?!
how will be our future??
my brother is still a kid, 9 years old, and my sister is young[17], she needs support.
my mother is always in danger of losing her ability…how will be her future?

I love her, she’s an angel, I can’t imagine a day when she isn’t with me, but alas!

I know, I won’t endure her dark future, and ours, I will kill myself one day if she…

we’re always arguing with each other ( me, my dad, my sis, bro and mom)
but we can’t cotrol it either.

but we’re alert too.
we can’t ever scream really, we can’t have a surprising thing or …
but sometimes we do, and my mother is just as shocked as a chick.

we don’t know what will happen if one day she loses a beloved one.

it was happenning last year [but didn't]and I saw what was happenning, I was witness of her mood and her…

God help us, we need you, MS can’t be cured and cleaned forever, at least till now.

but God, you help us.

do you know how will our future be? do you know what should we do?
sorry if I wrote this lowwwwwwwwng essay, but I’m very upset about it and don’t know what to do…
it was reached to my throat, so that I could handle it only with talking about it.
pardon me, but I’m very sad about it, I can’t live without my angel-mom…

……………..Gosh! she’s at risk FOREVERMORE…………………

hey, my mom DOES have her own specialist.
she is checked regulary

Question by Deb: I was recently diagnosed with Devic’s disease. How does this relates to MS?
Are the symptoms the same and how long would it take for this disease to progress? I have had an acute attack in February and have not fully recovered. Others that I have spoken to say the disease or the symptoms can linger for many years before having an attack. Are there any military veterans that have this disease and are receiving benefits? Looking at obtaining a wheelchair through the VA. Please provide any comments or suggestions, thanks.
Are the symptoms the same and how long would it take for this disease to progress? I have had an acute attack in February and have not fully recovered. Others that I have spoken to say the disease or the symptoms can linger for many years before having an attack. The Devic’s I have is attaching my spinal cord and my optical nerve which left me blind in my right eye for three months, the steriods brought my vision back; however my vision became impaired back in 1993; just didn’t know at the time why I suddenly needed glasses. Are there any military veterans that have this disease and are receiving benefits? Looking at obtaining a wheelchair through the VA. Please provide any comments or suggestions, thanks.

Answer by cwgrrl7
Devic’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which there are episodes of inflammation and damage to the myelin (fatty, protective covering of nerves) that almost exclusively affect the optic (eye) nerves and spinal cord. It usually causes temporary blindness, occasionally permanent, in one or both eyes. It can also lead to varying degrees of weakness or paralysis in the legs or arms, loss of sensation, and/or bladder and bowel dysfunction from spinal cord damage.
It appears as though there are two major types of Devic’s disease. In the first type, optic neuritis, (inflammation of the optic nerve), and myelitis, (inflammation of the spinal cord), episodes tend to come very close together often within days or weeks, and there is no recurrence after the initial flurry of symptoms. In the second form, repeated episodes of optic neuritis and myelitis occur that are separated by months or years.
In well established cases of Devic’s disease, it is usually possible to accurately tell the difference between Devic’s disease and MS. However, early in their course, it may be difficult to definitively separate these two conditions. However, there are some differences.

Devic’s disease affects only the optic nerves and spinal cord, whereas MS affects the brain as well.
Attacks of Devic’s disease tend to be more frequent and severe than in MS, though this is not always the case.
An MRI of the brain is typically normal in Devics disease, although this is not always the case; in MS the MRI of the brain typically shows many areas of inflammation.
An MRI of the spinal cord shows large extensive areas of inflammation of the spinal cord whereas in MS typically the areas are much smaller.
Spinal fluid studies tend not to show the typical elevation of antibodies detected in patients with MS, although occasional patients may show this abnormal pattern of antibodies.
The course of Devic’s disease is highly variable. It largely depends on whether there is a tendency for relapses to occur after the initial flurry of symptoms that leads to the diagnosis.

In general, attacks of Devic’s disease tend to be more frequent and severe than they are in MS. The major risk to patients is severe damage to the upper spinal cord, which can lead to inability to breathe on one’s own. This may be fatal. However, some patients with Devic’s disease seem to enter a long period of time where the disease remains stable. Devic’s disease has not been studied in large enough populations to predict the outcome of individual cased with great certainty.
Permanent blindness may occur in one or both eyes. Permanent loss of strength or sensation in the arms or legs may occur. Inability to control the bowel or bladder function may also occur.

At any point in this disease, patients may develop sudden brief, repetitive spasms. These spasms may also occur in MS, but they are very common in Devic’s disease. With these spasms, patients develop prolonged tightening of arms and legs that last for 15 seconds to 2 minutes. They may be painful and recur several times a day. In most cases, they respond very successfully to treatment with an anticonvulsant medication.
