ALL ABOUT MS The role of the family (Part 15)

Life in accordance with the disease


By importance, the support and assistance of the family environment of MS patients do not differ from healthy people, nor from those suffering from other chronic and progressive diseases. Their families are similar to most families affected by a stressful life situation that necessarily leads to changes in family relationships, which in turn requires a complete adjustment to the resulting changes. When one member suffers from a chronic illness, at least for some time the family gets out of balance and the atmosphere feels emotionally in a special way. It is a natural need to re-establish the system, which requires additional effort from the family. The length of adjustment to the new situation is different in each family, and depends on its ability to accept changes. It is therefore necessary that family relationships be harmonized and envied by emotions. A family that includes warmth, love, support and care for their member will be a great support for a person suffering from MS.


Most common reactions to MS


The most natural reactions to the diagnosis of any chronic illness, including MS, are shock, unbelief, fear and sorrow. There are many questions and dilemmas that are troubling the family during adapting to illness. Family members are, understandably, scared and very concerned about the diseased, and there is also fear that they will be able to settle in altered conditions and if everything is going to react to their social environment. After the adjustment period comes to some of the most common types of family response to illness.
A family that does not accept illness or denies the existence of illness and obvious symptoms can endanger the person with MS because there is no openness in conversation or proper communication. A family that responds depressively (prevalent of emotions of sorrow) experiences illness as a failure and punishment, so the somatic health of one member is endangered, and a fantasy of future loss as well as a feeling of worthlessness, diversity in relation to other families that work happily and satisfactorily; self-esteem is hurt, treatment is considered meaningless, it is very often ill with an over-protection, and the family is withdrawn from social relations together with it. The family that is adapted to accept MS, continues to live with the necessary changes, and relations are open, the exchange is intense, which is extremely important for the patient.



In addition to these basic types of response, there are a variety of subtypes that are a combination of individual response modes. At the same time, these may be the stages through which the family is going through adapting to the disease.

I will try to give you the advice you need to adopt to begin to regain control of your life. Or restore the ground under your feet, which have escaped you when the G35 diagnosis has evolved in your medical records. In fact, the longest way is to accept one such diagnosis. And this path is uncertain and full of curves, and different for every sick person. And while you are listening to a neurologist who gives you basic information about your new diagnosis, you have a million questions in your head. Let's start with the first one that came up: Yes, everyone on the first, when they hear multiple sclerosis, thought of a wheelchair. Incorrectly! Multipla does not necessarily mean a wheelchair.

ALL ABOUT MS What is multiple sclerosis (MS) (Part 1)

By
What is MS? Multiple sclerosis (Sclerosis multiplex, Enchephalomelitis disseminate), abbreviated MS, is an immune disease, involves axons, long nerve cell prolongations, on which some parts of the myelin coat are reacting and failing inflammation. Therefore, multiple sclerosis is considered an inflammatory, demyelinating disease caused by immunological changes of unknown aetiology. When a certain part of the myelin sheath is inflamed and damaged, the transmission of the impulse through the axon is disturbed, slowed or interrupted, resulting in messages from the brain coming to the "target" with delay, "errors" or none (absent). The disease is a very variable flow, is expressed by neurological symptoms and signs, and is characterized by frequent deterioration of varying degrees, which shifts with rapid improvement of the clinical picture (remission of the disease). The onset of multiple sclerosis is accompanied by many disorders of varying degrees, from mild st...
