With any disease come many misconceptions and myths. When an individual tells someone else that they have MS they might get a response that MS with cripple them in some way (Blackstone). For some reason, individuals believe that when some has MS they should be in a wheel chair. That is not the case. Actually, it depends on the person. Some people go their whole life without ever needing

Specific Speech Purpose: To provide my audience with information about MS and its life changing results.

I have selected ‘Sainsbury’s’ as my organisation and I will explain the types of information used in my organisation. The following are:

Two to three more women than men have been diagnosed with MS and most people are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50.

Symptoms of MS are medicated from like Dilantin are used to manage neuropathic pain. Novatrone, Tefidera, Aubagio, and Fingolimod are oral medications used to diminish frequency of MS relapses and progression of disability. Benzodiazeprines are often used, such as Clonapam, to prevent seizures. There is even a drug, Ampyra, that in an anti-MS agent to increase walking speed in patients.

When I received your letter, I made sure to research MS more in depth to provide you with as much information on the root cause of MS, as science will currently allow. As I mentioned, this disease remains partially a mystery but with new scientific breakthroughs, it is becoming more clear that a virus may be to

It is for that reason, symptoms are treated and managed to try to improve the life of people that have MS. Treatment typically focuses on speeding

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an example of a chronic disabling neurological disease requiring specialty care and coordination. MS is the most common progressive neurological disorder of young adults, the median age of onset is 30 years, an age when many are starting careers and families I was 32 years old when I was first diagnosis in May 2008; I was having a difficult time walking and really bad back pain. When I visited my primary doctor I was first diagnosis with Fibromyalgia, then I was referred to a neurologist. After my results from my MRI it was confirmed that I had MS. The results from the MRI showed

When considering this information, keep in mind that while you may not have MS, a lot of people do, and are diagnosed with it every day. Raising awareness about MS and getting more people involved is one of the best things you can do to helps others suffering with this

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord, particularly the central nervous system (CNS). In MS the immune system attacks the myelin, which is the protective sheath that covers the nerve fibers and causes communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause the nerves to deteriorate or even lead to permanent damage. They deteriorate in variable degrees and produce significant disability within 20-25 years in more than 30% of patients, (Luzzio, 2016). The majority of people diagnosed with MS are adults between the ages of 20 and 45; twice as many women are affected compared to men. However, MS can present itself in childhood or late middle age, but is uncommon. According to Goldenberg (2012), there is no known cause for this debilitating disease, but it appears to involve a combination of genetic susceptibility and a nongenetic trigger, such as a virus, metabolism, or environmental factors

While the cure has not been found, MS patients should have hope. One can live well with MS, especially with the many resources out there to connect patients with aid and others who have been diagnosed as well. The National MS Society is a place to start for information, resources, and

MS affects about 400,000 persons in the USA and approximately 2.1 million worldwide. The average age of onset is between 20–40 years, although it can also occur in young children and in people aged 50 years and more. It is estimated that the direct and indirect healthcare costs of MS in the United States result in approximately $35,000 spent per year per patient. Multiple sclerosis affects women more

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder it is characterized by inflammation and destruction of CNS myelin. It affects approximately 350,000 persons in the united states and more than 1 million worldwide (Porth,2014). The age of onset is typically between 18 and 45 years of age. Women are affected twice more frequently than men.

Multiple sclerosis is a prolonged, progressive, wasting disorder of the Central Nervous System categorized by distributed demyelination of nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord. The onset of MS is usually between 20 and 50 years of age, although it can occur in young teens and much older adults. Women are affected two of three times more often than men. (Lewis, Dirksen, Heitkemper, Bucher, & Camera, 2014, p. 1428)

MD Michael C. Levin defines multiple sclerosis as “disseminated patches of demyelination in the brain and spinal cord” (Levin, Michael C., MD). It is basically a disease that affects the central nervous system. Some of the most common forms of symptoms include fatigue, declining cognitive functions, tremors, and several others factors (Doshi, Anisha, and Jeremy Chataway). Accoring to Levin, “MS is more common among people who spend their first 15 yr of life in temperate climates (1/2000) than in those who spend them in the tropics (1/10,000)” (Levin, Michael C., MD). There are only a few explanations for this, which include low levels of vitamin D due to lack of exposure to the sun or cigarette smoking (Levin, Michael C., MD). Some of the most common forms of treatment are physical therapy or medications that suppress the immune system. Others are in the form of injections such as intramuscular or subcutaneous injections (Doshi, Anisha, and Jeremy
