Don't Ask

I Have MS

Note the white and pink jewls and the pink tennis balls in the photos above

Going off my medication while I wait to get on my new meds forced me to pull out my walker in case of a bad day. This reminded me that I never took any pictures of the work that I have done on it. I also decided to show off a cute shirt that my sister in-law made for me after telling her all the odd looks i get from people when they see me with a walker or in a wheel chair.

Girl your walker is awesome! Way to bling it up. Also, since I don't know any other way to contact you, we're all hoping your coming to the Drill reunion thingy this weekend. None of us wanted to go unless we could all go together, haha. So what do you say...you in? eh?

What is MS?

It is a disease in which the myelin sheaths around the axons of the rain and spinal cord are damged, leading to demyelination and scarring as well as a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms. disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in females. MS affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other. Nerve cells communicate by sending signals called action potentials down long fibers called axons, which are wrapped in an insulating subtance called myelin. In MS, the body's own immune system attacks and damages the myelin. When myelin is lost, the axons can no longer effectively conduct signals. the name multiple sclerosis refers to scars in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of myelin. Although much is known about the mechanisms involved in the disease process, the cause remains unknown. theories include genetics or infections. Different environmental risk factors have also been found. Almost any neurological symptoms can appear with the disease, and often progresses to physical and cognitive diasbility. MS takes several forms, with new syptoms occuring either in discrete attack or slowly accumulating over time. Between attacks, symptoms may go away completely, but permanent neurological problems often occur, especially as the disease advances. There is no cure for MS. Treatments attempt to return function after an attack, prevent new attacks, and prevent disability.
