Multiple Sclerosis Research Paper
Multiple
Sclerosis
I remember when I first felt the symptoms of multiple Sclerosis. It was the most
excruciating feeling that I have ever felt. There I was sitting on the couch
watching a television show called “That’s So Raven”, while I ate oodles noodles.
Then I felt the tingling sensation which sooner was replaced by numbness. My
head felt as if there was a thousand bullets were going through my scull. Next
thing I know I was in the hospital, doctors and different nurses were touching
me. Since I was only nine years old, it freaked me out. I was freaked out so
much that I started to cry my eyes out. I didn’t even realize that I could
possibly have these symptoms for the rest of my life and that it could affect
it in a major way. According to Multiple
Sclerosis: A guide for the Newly Diagnosed
by Nancy J. Holland families can know about the benefits that one has when comes
with dealing with Multiple Sclerosis is if they talk to a doctor that has a
degree with that kind of field that Multiple Sclerosis will be in. Multiple
Sclerosis is known to affect a person mood, so the patient can also talk to a
psychiatrist/counselor. A person can also look up the benefits and law that can
protect them because they are consider disable.

Sclerosis for Dummies
This
book was written by Rosalind Kalb, Nancy Holland and Barbara Giesser these
others have over years of experience in working in the field that works with
people that has Multiple Sclerosis. Multiple Sclerosis for dummies was written
that gives you expert’s advice on making choices that deals with patients,
managing the symptoms that comes along with it and also help you deal with
health insurance. This book also let you know how to deal with relapses so the
patient can live a better life.
Talking to a doctor
can the best choice when it comes to helping someone understand what Multiple
Sclerosis can do to a person and how it can affect someone lively hood. Multiple
Sclerosis was discovered in 1868 by a neurologist named Jean Martin Charcot in a
hospital that is located in Paris. Doctors probably would not know where
Multiple Sclerosis came from by they would know the cause. Multiple Sclerosis is
scene when the immune system gets the wrong signal from the body to attack the
nervous system. Since the Sheath which is also known as the Myelin attacks the
axon in the Central Nervous System. The axon is the nerve fiber and when there
is no sheath to help protect the axon (nerve fiber) makes it vulnerable to be
attack, which causes inflammation and scarring. Doctors such as neurologist will
be able to the patient or the family member why this is so and how they can make
sure that the patient will be able to cope with the symptoms. Some Doctors even
make up different treatments to help such as dieting. Dr. Roy Swank made a
dietary plan that has been known to work with patients. “There have been several
reports of initial group of people with MS who were treated with Swank diet.”
(Holland, pg. 72) This shows that some doctor’s methods can actually work when
it comes to help treating Multiple Sclerosis. Doctors can also tell the patient
or family member(s) the way other people cope with multiple sclerosis and how
they are dealing with each symptoms. Even Multiple Sclerosis and known to be
different in each person but most patients can experience the same pain.
“Multiple Sclerosis is an individual disease, and you probably will find that
the features of your MS are quite different from those of the next person.”
(Holland, pg. 84) This simply means that people that have Multiple Sclerosis
will have a tough time with finding someone with the same feeling and symptoms
as them, so it is great if you do not compare others with what another as going
on with them. Doctors can also inform someone what they can and cannot do, like
if the patient wants to go out to a hot place or even a colder location. Doctors
can inform the patient if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Multiple Sclerosis
is known to act up more when the patient body is over headed. “… Damaged nerve
fibers may function less well when body temperatures are elevated and,
conversely, the nerves function better when temperature is lowered.” (Holland,
pg.92) This implies that patient is most likely to feel better when they are in
a cooler climate. Women are more likely to be affected by Multiple Sclerosis
then males. So it female patients are more likely to ask is it a risk factor to
when it comes to being pregnant with Multiple Sclerosis.
