23...

I celebrated my 23rd birthday this March, I was able to celebrate it with my family at the Cheesecake Factory (yummy!) It was so simple yet so wonderful to be able to spend time with those who matter most in my life. When the night ended realized just how lucky I am to have so many special people love me. I was fortunate enough to have 3 little celebrations, one with the boys, a girls night out with my mom and sister and to top it off dinner with my bestie Nessa. I am truly grateful to have people in my life who lift me up and keep me going, it is because of these people my health is going to only get better.

p.s. my dad is trying to flash "23" looks more like 22

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.
