The disease varies greatly from person to person!. Most of us have the relapsing remitting form of the disease which means the symptoms come and go!. Some people get the progressive form of the disease which can make life a living hell!. But for the majority the disease remains realtively mild in nature!. While there is no cure for MS, it is not fatal and there are treatment options available and many more currently being tested for release in the future!. Most of us experience tingling, numbness, exhaustion, and problems with balance!. Researches theorize that the immune system for whatever reason begins to attack the nerves in the body!. Because the nerves are involved in everything we do, the symptoms that people with MS have vary depending on what nerves are effected!. So vision, walking, talking, grasping!. urinating, deficating, emoting, thinking, and remembering can be effected!. In all there are a total of 50 possible symptoms!. Keepin mind, though, that no one ever gets all the symptoms and that their intensity varies tremendously from peron to person!. When someone is diagnosed, they usually go through a period of denial, a period of anger followed by a period of acceptance!. It is no simple feat to adjust to the knoweledge and represents for most of us a an immense emotional challange since it is a chronic disease that can have very serious implications!. A person with MS has to learn to live with the fact that they truly do not know what tomorrow will bring!. As an example, when I had my first MS attack, I lost sight in my left eye, had tremendous difficulty walking, and suffered such slured speech that people could barely understand what I was saying That lasted three months and then the symptoms gradually went away!. While I returned to a normal life, I live with the fact that at any time it could happen all over again!. That is just the nature of the disease!. As soon as I was diagnosed, I contacted the National Multiple Sclerosis Society since they can provide reliable information on the disease as well as a tremendous amount of support!. Do not hesitate to go to there website (NMSS!.COM)!. I am sorry your friend and her mother are going through this!. They will need the support of a caring person like you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
