Case Study: Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis MS s a disease in which the T-Cells of your immune system turn against your body an attack the brain and other healthy tissue. My Mom has MS so I have been hearing about this disease my whole life. Hearing about MS my whole life you would think I would get sick of talking about it, but I wanted to this because even if it gets annoying sharing about MS and explaining what it is to my friends, it's important that people know what it is. I know that MS isn't as bad as Cancer but it effects a lot of people in a very hard way so talking about it is important. Multiple Sclerosis or M.S. is a disease that is very rare and found in less than 200,000 U.S. cases per year. M.S. is a disease where the immune system eats away at the protective surrounding of the nerves. M.S. can not be cured but it's likely that treatment will help. M.S. like most diseases must be medically diagnosed. Lab tests or imaging is often required M.R.I’s are the most

With MS there can be at home treatments, doctors treatments, physical training and with strong cases chemotherapy but it will have no where near the same results as it would with some cancer patients. MS has a lot of treatments here are few, Physical Therapy though not a form of medicine is a great way to treat MS it slows down the progression of the disease in many cases in the US, Steroids have been given to patients with MS they have helped speed up some of the bodies functions like eye sight and strength to help with people that drive a lot and people who have issues with their fatigue. Another treatment method that has been used a lot is beautox , Beautox is a method that freezes up your muscles so people with bladder issues will have botox done and then heir bladder will be tighter and they won't have problems with keeping their urine in
