This Friday (30), is the National Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Day and so, we have brought some information about the disease, such as treatments and symptoms. Also, we present you four famous actresses who have discovered their MS diagnosis.
What is multiple sclerosis?
THE Multiple sclerosis It is a neurological disease that acts directly on the central nervous system and affects two million people in the world and 30 thousand Brazilians, as underlined by Ministry of Health. More specifically, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath – structure responsible for covering and protecting neurons – and influences the functioning of these cells essential for the functioning of the human body. According to the neurologist of Revitate Transitional HospitalDr. Vanessa HachimanCases are more frequent in young people, between 20 and 30 years old.
Symptoms and treatment of multiple sclerosis?
First of all, the specialist states that the symptoms vary depending on the patient’s profile and history. They can range from motor difficulties, pain, fatigue, shortness of breath, to cognitive problems. “Unfortunately, multiple sclerosis is an incurable disease, which requires constant monitoring to help the patient cope with the challenges that may arise. Therefore, the palliative care approach, which is patient-centered, is essential. It seeks to control the symptoms, as well as offering psychological and social support, which is extremely important”says Hachiman.
Although there is no clear solution to the problem, the ideal, according to the neurologist, is to combine treatment with palliative care. “It can help stabilize the condition and reduce the impact of exacerbations on everyday life. Each case is unique and personalizing care is key to improving quality of life, respecting what is important to each person. Combined treatment of drugs and continuous monitoring by the multidisciplinary team can make a significant difference in the lives of patients, despite and beyond the disease”concludes.
