ALL ABOUT MS Pregnancy and MS (Part 13)

Given that MS is largely a disease of women, and also of young women, there is a special topic of the relationship between this disease and pregnancy, or birth.

MS does not increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. It has not been shown that there is an increased incidence of preterm delivery, birth defects, inborn deformations, or early death of the newborn. However, exceptions are possible.

Delivery in women with MS does not differ from birth in healthy women. The method of delivery is determined by the gynecologist according to gynecological criteria. Previously, spinal anesthesia was thought to increase the risk of postpartum deterioration, but the use of modern epidural anesthesia is considered safe and has not been shown to increase the risk of deterioration after delivery.

Breastfeeding is recommended and does not increase the risk of deterioration. However, caution is needed if mothers take medicines that are secreted through milk. Breastfeeding is forbidden if the mother receives corticosteroids or mitoxantrone and is not recommended during interferon beta therapy and glatiramer acetate, as it is not known whether these drugs are excreted via breast milk.

It is known that pregnancy works favorably on the course of MS, reducing the risk of deterioration, which is particularly pronounced in the first trimester of pregnancy. On the other hand, the risk of MS worsening is rising immediately after delivery, especially in the first three months after delivery. It has not been shown that deterioration of MS during pregnancy and postpartum is more severe than other illnesses during illness. In the long term, the number of pregnancies and the way of delivery have no effect on the development of the disease and its progression. In any case, women with MS, especially those with mild neurological outbreaks, should be encouraged to establish a family as early as possible for a possible progressive course of the disease.

ALL ABOUT MS The role of the family (Part 19)

ALL ABOUT MS The role of the family (Part 19) Deform in behavior and misbehavior Very few MS patients have behavioral disorders due to the inability to control sexual impulses. This type of behavior is due to damage to the inhibitory functions of the brain. Unsuitable behavior is caused by the loss of cognitive ability due to the demyelination of significant cognitive areas in the brain. Family members should know that this is beyond the conscious control of the patient and that it is not a sign of moral weakness or sociopathic tendencies, but of illness. The treatment of the patient and the response to his behavior is very complex, and includes medication, psychiatric and neurological assistance with parallel psychotherapy. Family members need support in the form of advisory work, as this behavior can lead to unpleasant situations. Sometimes it is necessary to control these people in order to prevent possible outbursts.

Color of MS! Everyday!

Color of MS! Everyday! Multiple sclerosis or MS, as we call it short, means a lot. But first of all, you must be strong and have to invest a lot of energy to make your life look the same as before the illness. How many of the bizarre things I will emphasize today are actually very important in everyday life and really help how crazy it sounds. A few tips for a safer everyday life with multiple sclerosis: 1. Always leave important things like keys, phone, purses, glasses in the same place. If you have not had a place for these things, now find it. Always return the things to where they stand because you know how to hurry somewhere. You can never find keys, cell phone or glasses. If they are always in the same place this will never be a problem. A lot of stressful situations will be avoided if you adopt this new routine. 2. Close the kitchen cabinets - yes, always close them. You know how awkward we can be and you know that you will quickly forget that you have opened t...
