Therapy of MS during pregnancy


During pregnancy, corticosteroid therapy should be administered only in case of severe MS deterioration. The use of this therapy should be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy due to an increased risk of damage to the fetus. It is considered to be the safest for the fetus to apply short-term methylprednisolone for the treatment of MS worsening during pregnancy. In pregnancy, the use of mitoxantrone and other cytostatics is contraindicated. For interferon beta, there is no evidence of adverse effects on the fetus, and for this reason, it should not be interrupted by pregnancy if the patient was in the onset of the pregnancy at the very beginning of the treatment. There are a large number of women who have had normal pregnancy, the birth and development of the child and have received interferon beta during the first few months of pregnancy. However, it is known that this medicine increases the risk of spontaneous abortion, so this therapy should definitely be discontinued during pregnancy. In any case, therapy with interferon beta or glatiramer acetate should be discontinued if pregnancy is planned due to an unknown effect on the fetus.

ALL ABOUT MS (Part 2)

Types and course of the disease The course of the disease is different and difficult to predict in each person, but over time, as the MS shows certain regularities when the disease is monitored over a longer period of time, most patients can be classified into one of four MS forms. When determining MS forms, knowledge of the previous course of the disease is used to try to predict a further course of the disease. MS forms are: relapse-remitent, secondary progressive, primarily progressive and progressive-relapse form. Relapse-remitent form In 85% to 90% of diseased illnesses begin as a relapse-remitent form. In these patients, unpredictable seizures (so called relapse, exacerbations, mosses, and swabs) are observed, followed by periods when the disease recedes (remission) and in which the patient's condition returns to what was before the attack, and may also be left behind damage. When the patient's condition always returns to what was before the attack, it is usu

Psychosocial counseling is mandatory

Psychosocial counseling is mandatory People with MS are more prone to stress than other people. With everyday stresses of modern life, MS patients are still threatened by the diagnosis, which only falls into acute stress. As MS is an unpredictable disease, the uncertainty and anticipation of the next aggravation is a particular source of stress. Multiple sclerosis brings with it a change of image about oneself, relationships with family, friends, colleagues. In addressing these problems, the role of psychosocial support and assistance is invaluable. In people living with MS, the problems of psychological nature are more often related to the personality of the diseased, the reaction to illness, and the way of adjusting and reorganizing oneself according to the change that has occurred and which the disease inevitably carries with it, rather than being associated with the illness itself cause of the problem. MS sufferers face loss of health and this loss causes a very stron
