Question by Ian H: Do people with multiple sclerosis want to live together?
My mother is working on creating a community where people with MS can live together. It is called MSCampus and is affordable non profit housing in Ohio. I am wondering what people with multiple sclerosis think about living with other handicapped people. I will refine this question more after we get some general thoughts from people with multiple scleross.

Answer by hopetohelpyou I am not sure how that would really help one another, I mean my mom has MS, if another person with MS lived with her and they were both handicapped, how could they help each other. My mom is unable to do much of anything for herself, she is completely dependant on my sister who lives with her. She can feed herself and do things for herself in the bathroom, but she cannot walk at all. So I guess I cannot say she would want to live with another handicapped person. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Unless they are in the very early stages and are single and lonely.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS) – that’s the brain and spinal cord. Predominantly, it is a disease of the “white matter” tissue. The white matter is made up of nerve fibres which are responsible for transmitting communication signals both internally within the CNS and between the CNS and the nerves supplying rest of the body. In people affected by MS, patches of damage called plaques or lesions appear in seemingly random areas of the CNS white matter. At the site of a lesion, a nerve insulating material, called myelin, is lost. I shall explain this process in more detail later. Clinically, MS is a hard condition to characterise because it is very unpredictable and variable. Depending on which areas of the CNS are affected and how badly they are damaged, the type and severity of symptoms can vary greatly. No two people get MS in exactly the same way and the expression of each individual’s disease is as unique as their fingerprints. However, the different courses of the disease, both within an individual and within the whole population, principally differ in their timing, location and severity. Underneath similar processes (including demyelination and sometimes other forms of nerve degeneration) are going on. Although recent research indicates that the biochemical make-up of lesions may vary between different forms of the disease, this is not the reason why people with MS (PwMS) have such widely differing symptoms … Video Rating: 5 / 5

Question by wicked: Questions for people that have Multiple Sclerosis?
Let’s start from the beginning. I was diagnosed with MS 5 years ago. I do not take any injections because I don’t believe in being a Guinea Pig & I don’t trust the FDA but I do try & take care of myself such as eating & exercising correctly.
When you exercise do you notice that your symptoms get worse? For instance, I just got in to cycling & it took several weeks before I could fell my legs properly.
Are your symptoms worse in the Hot rather in the cold? 100 degree days for me are a killer it makes most of my body tingle (similar to your feet being asleep).
When were you diagnosed & how have your symptoms got worse?
If anything, what drug are u on & what effect has it had on u?
What has your doctor done to gain your trust?
Is there support groups that will support my decision to not trust the FDA & the guidelines they have given doctors? & no the National MS Society encourages u to be on the drugs whether they seem to help or not. Had a counselor their, been their done that.

Answer by Silly B I feel bad for you and your opinion. I work with people who were diagnosed before treatments were approved. These people are now unable to walk.
My aunt is unable to have her own opinion about the medicine. Her body (due to certain antibodies in her blood) rejects the injections. As a result, her body has been slowly debilitating over the last 6 years. This was not by her choice.
In my opinion, you should probably do some true research and find out the benefits. Go to a support group and hear what people have to say. Don’t ask random people through the internet. Ask people you can see and touch and feel how much it has affected their lives. You might want to remember that this is an illness that is not fatal. If there is something that will keep you as healthy as humanly possible, shouldn’t you take that opportunity?
I am not some healthy happy go-lucky person that thinks everything is going to be ok. I have my fair share of problems (health problems at that). I just don’t think one should dismiss opportunities to live a full life if they are right there in front of them. Medical advancements allow you to live an almost normal life now. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to do just that?

FIVE FANTASTIC YOU TUBERS www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com What Are Some of the Signs and Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Most people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40; the initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye. Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance. These symptoms may be severe enough to impair walking or even standing. In the worst cases, MS can produce partial or complete paralysis. Most people with MS also exhibit paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feelings such as numbness, prickling, or “pins and needles” sensations. Some may also experience pain. Speech impediments, tremors, and dizziness are other frequent complaints. Occasionally, people with MS have hearing loss. Approximately half of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment, but such symptoms are usually mild and are frequently overlooked. Depression is another common feature of MS. Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be thought of as an inflammatory process involving different areas of the central nervous system (CNS) at various points in time. As the name suggests, multiple sclerosis affects many areas of the CNS. Multiple sclerosis is more common in individuals of northern European descent … Video Rating: 4 / 5
