1. The Less MS the best
Multiple Sclerosis By Macay Gordon
2. Through The Eyes Of MS Patients.
• Vision problems
• Visual problems may be the first symptoms of
multiple sclerosis. These include blurred
vision, loss of vision in one eye, or color
distortion. Another common vision symptom
of MS is called optic neuritis, or inflammation
of the optic nerve
3. Can You Feel The MS?
• Numbness in the arms or legs
• Numbness, tingling, and abnormal sensations of the face, body, or
extremities (arms and legs) is one of the most common symptoms of MS.
Often, it's the first symptom experienced by those eventually diagnosed
with MS
• Pain
• Approximately 50% of people who have MS have experienced pain. Pain
can occur as a result of inflammation and damage to the covering
protecting the nerve fibers. It may also occur from spasticity and changes
in joints and muscles. These changes can be a result of weakness,
restricted range of motion, or altered walking dynamics. Pain may also
result from other illnesses associated with MS
4. Severe Multiple Sclerosis
• Muscle weakness and uncontrollable shaking
• Many people with MS experience muscle weakness and some degree of
uncontrollable shaking or tremor. Intention tremor is the most common
form, and is most pronounced during physical movement. Uncontrollable
shaking can happen when a person tries to grasp or reach for
something, or move a foot to a precise spot
• Paralysis
• MS can cause paralysis. In severe MS, people can develop paralysis
affecting the legs, arms, and sometimes face. However, the majority of
people with MS do not become severely disabled. Two-thirds of people
who have MS remain able to walk, though many will need an aid, such as a
cane or crutches, and some will use a scooter or wheelchair
6. Comparing Myelin Sheath
Print this articleA myelin sheath is a protective layer that develops over nerves in the central nervous and peripheral nervous systems. Myelin sheaths are composed of
fatty tissues and proteins. In the central nervous system, these sheaths are produced by oligodendrocytes, which can lay a myelin sheath over a number of axons. In the
peripheral nervous system, myelin sheaths are produced by Schwann cells, which place a myelin sheath over a single axon.
