Boy / Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

The questions that most of us are moving around the head! Questions asked by experts and answers! The topic of the discussion was diet, cannabis and D vitamin. 1. How much nutrition does the MS actually have and if there is any scientific evidence about the connection between nutrition and MS?

In addition, MS is an unpredictable disease, and uncertainty and the anticipation of the next deterioration is particularly stressful. Everyday stresses that we all are exposed to under conditions of modern life do not pass or ill. The problem with them is that stress can be one of the triggers for the next deterioration, although studies on the effects of stress on MS have produced contradictory results. Regardless, it's important to know that stress can not get out of real life. The sick can not live "under a glass bell". Asking yourself and your family for such a request means pre-subscribing to failure. We should not fall into the trap of avoiding stress at all costs, because it is practical...

There is a wide array of different types of societies and associations that are not directly targeted at MS, but they can be a refuge and a source of energy necessary for further life. Support groups for families with MS suffer a great deal of help. Talking with others who have a sick member helps in several ways.

ALL ABOUT MS The role of the family (Part 16) Behavior towards a person with MS The question arises about what attitude is taken toward the patient. Should it be lenient, compassionate, or not?
