MS awareness week

One disease. No two alike. Which is why it’s one of the hardest diseases to diagnose. So hard in fact, that many … thousands of many … go undiagnosed. All the while their symptoms worsen and they suffer.

MS — Multiple Sclerosis — is a crippling disease. And the longer it goes undiagnosed, the more permanent the damage.

Early detection, diagnosis, and prevention are so important with MS. Which is why awareness is crucial.

There are people all over this world who haven’t an idea of what MS stands for, let alone the many facets of the disease. Admittedly, until it touched my life I was pretty clueless myself.

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system that has no cure and is highly treatable. In MS, inflammation in the brain and spinal cord causes the loss of myelin, the insulation around nerves. Symptoms include loss of vision, numbness, tingling, excessive fatigue and weakness. They can range from mild to severe.

In layman’s terms … myelin is the coating around our nerves. Think of it like the rubber that covers electrical wire. If that rubber {or myelin} wears thin or is exposed, there’s a short in the wire {or nerve}. MS attacks the myelin covering our nerves, leaving the nerve exposed. And because we have nerves all over our body, where the MS attacks is where we might feel most our symptoms. Since there’s no rhyme or reason to the attack, symptoms — along with severity — vary from patient to patient.

In a healthy person, myelin repairs itself. But in a patient with MS, regeneration doesn’t occur. Though current research is being done to change that fact.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2009 and for me personally, symptoms vary daily. I’m currently battling extreme fatigue. Please believe me when I say extreme. It’s only by the grace of God I make it through most days. I have other struggles, but it won’t necessarily bless anyone by going into all of them. And truly … compared to others battling the disease, I’m doing pretty good!

Even though new advances and research are being done every day, it’s so important to continue to advocate and raise awareness. If you have a moment, maybe you could share this post with someone … it could make all the difference in the life of another.

The National MS Society is another great resource to gather more information on this crazy, yucky disease.

Do you or someone you know struggle with a chronic disease?
