Advantages: mmm
Disadvantages: Toooooooooooo Manyyyyyyyyy
Its so good to find something on this site about MS. On many others I have found it to be a sort of taboo subject.
I myself suffer with MS, currently I'm being looked after by my husband and my children, aged 13,11 and 4.
They are all wonderful and such good help!
I have been a sufferer for the past 6yrs and will be for the rest of my life.
Needless to say, there is no cure for MS other than injections which only control the symptoms, but even then your never guaranteed to be relapse or pain free.
Personally, I can normally tell when staring a relapse as my first symptom is always optic neuritis.
This is a very painful condition that feels like your eye is trying to get out of your socket when you move it!
My symptoms are as follows- I would like to point out that, not everyone with MS will suffer the same symptoms....we are all individuals with different pain thresh-holds.
- Tremors in hands and legs......hot drinks are a toughie...OUCH!
- Muscle spasms in back, legs and arms ( I could give shaking Stevens a run for his money hehe)
- Optic Neuritis....visual disturbance... red becomes pink and waterfall effect and as stated above, very painful!
- Fatigue due to dealing with normal daily life.....not that its normal. My brain has to work harder so drains me physically and mentally!!!
- Mood swings, my family love it when these kick in!
- Depression
There is so much more, I would be here all day. I hope this review has gave you some insight into the disease and helps you understand it better.
Please remember, we are normal people, with a neurological disorder.....not aliens!
Summary: My experience as a sufferer of MS.....Hope it helps

- 22/12/08 Thank you all so very much. I use a site called ms247.co.uk Hope i'm allowed to say the link!!!
They are a lovely lot, lots of fun, quiz night is Thursday's at 9pm.
They are so very helpful when in relapses and when you just need a giggle.
You should all pay a visit and let any other sufferers that you know.
The site manager is called Leon, he is also an MS sufferer so knows what its like. |
