In recent years, awareness raising clearly increased on multiple sclerosis so that it is possible to cope with the disease with more efficiency. But to date, the signs that allow early detection of the disease are not yet clear for many, especially since it is possible that its symptoms are similar to those belonging to many other diseases, according to what I have explained in Hidith with “Al -nahar”, director of the Center of Sclerosis in Plate of the American University of Beirut, Dr. Samia Khoury, referring to the reasons that everyone did not know about the disease.
What signs of multiple sclerosis indicate the possibility of injury?
Plates sclerosis appears when an imbalance in the immune system, which generally fights germs and cancer diseases, begins to fight the body, in particular the substance, which is a buffer layer in the nerve fibers. And when this disorder occurs, this leads to an inflammation which causes certain symptoms which vary in nature as a function of the subject of inflammation. Note that this inflammation can occur in the brain or in the nervous system.
Symptoms that can be associated with multiple sclerosis are:
– Buddha in consideration
Weak movement in hand or leg.
Numbness in one of the parts
Nevertheless, Khoury explains that there are no particularly associated symptoms and exclusive to multiple sclerosis. These symptoms can also accompany other diseases, which does not allow the patient to think directly of multiple sclerosis when infected. Therefore, when observing symptoms of this type aspire at more than 24 hours, it is necessary to consult a doctor looking for a set of symptoms associated with the nervous system, their duration, the age of the patient and other factors, as well as additional tests carried out in order to be able to diagnose the disease with precision.
Even the diagnosis of the doctor may not come quickly because it works to cancel certain possibilities according to these symptoms and these MRIs.
On this basis, Khoury notes that the numbness that occurs and disappears quickly is not a disturbing standard, but if its duration or any other exponent can be linked to the nervous system, such as swing or blur in consideration, it is necessary to consult a doctor without delay. This may indicate a multiple rigidity attack and it calls for medical follow -up.
Has control of the disease become completely possible?
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that cannot be recovered before the moment, but it can be controlled and its symptoms with modern treatments available. It is possible to repair it and does not develop in a way that does not increase or does not cause disability. In the event of using a specific treatment and it turns out that the disease evolves, depending on what magnetic resonance imaging shows, another treatment can be used. Note that at least 20 drugs for multiple sclerosis, all accept them all by the Food and Drug Administration of the United States as multiple sclerosis. There are also 3 drugs supported by the Ministry of Public Health in Lebanon and are reliable, according to Khoury.
Do plaque sclerosis treatments have side effects?
For any medication that a person can eat side effects, of course, multiple sclerosis drugs that reduce immunity to reduce their effect on the body and the risk of infections of the presence of disorders, side effects that cannot be ignored. In such a case, it is necessary to have precise medical follow -up with blood tests to avoid the risk of infections and diseases. Noting that in most cases, a patient sclerosis patient must take the medication throughout life, although it is possible in some cases to stop it after the age of 50.
Who are the most at risk of multiple sclerosis?
There are many reasons for multiple sclerosis, which is 30%genetic. As for the remaining 70%, it is linked to the ocean:
Decrease in vitamin D.
Smoking, which increases the risk of infection and also contributes to the deterioration of the patient’s state, which calls for leaving.
