ALL ABOUT MS Symptoms of MS (Part 4)

Urinary disorders About one-third of patients have sphincter disorders: an overwhelming need for urinary incontinence, which can sometimes be accompanied by frequent urination (so-called polacizuria), difficulty in urinating, retention (complete inability to urinate) and incontinence (loss of control over the process urinating, so that the urinary bladder empties reluctantly and unexpectedly). Urinary disorders can be accompanied by constipation and incontinence of the stool and impotence. Urinary disorders are very disturbing disorders, which significantly affect the quality of life, personal, professional and social functioning of the patients. Urinary disorders in MS are very common and occur in approximately 96% of patients with MS after 10 years of illness. Urinary disorders can occur at any time during the course of the disease, even at its inception (in about 2% of patients). Some researchers believe that patients in whom the disease begins with problems in the...

ALL ABOUT MS Symptoms of MS (Part 3)

Symptoms of the disease Symptoms of MS are very diverse and numerous. In most patients, symptoms occur occasionally and progression of the disease can be altered both in its intensity and duration. They depend on the part of the brain and spinal cord affected by the disease. Not all patients have the same symptoms, they vary from one person to another, but vary with each patient over time. A person suffering from MS will usually experience more than one symptom, but never everything. Symptoms may occur individually or in combination and last for a few weeks to a few months after reporting. The initial symptoms of MS in the order of frequency are: subjective sensory impairment, reduced visual acuity, loss of strength in one or more limbs, duplicate images, balance disorders and vertigo and sphincter disorders. The most common symptoms of MS are: feeling sick (hypoesthesia), muscle weakness, painful muscle spasms, difficulty in movement, coordination and balance problems (...

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...

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

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...
