You are a wonderful friend to questions about MS, as his friend did not ask. The better you understand what's happening, the better it can help to assist you.
I have MS for over 45 years. She was diagnosed in most of this year, then became a "diagnosis of exclusion" - they could not find anything other than "call"! Finally, in 1997, according to my MRI and spinal tap, I received a clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
OK: Here are some facts about MS.
1) Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the immune system itself MYLINE nerve sheath, the "symptoms" in the body of "services" for the nerves.
2) There are 4 basic types of MS. The first 2 are most people, and is called relapsing-remitting (R / R) MS - either the state or aggressive benign. The person is in this type of MS, known as "exacerbations" - read the attacks - and then as "acceptable" for a long time. In most cases, aRM N and / or lumbar puncture showed lesions in the brain or spinal cord, then aggressive, doctors can treat symptoms with drugs such as steroids and drugs called "ABC" (Avonex, Beteserone and Copaxine). The drugs are vaccines for ABC, which is essentially interferon.
If it is detected early, these medical interventions excellent progress made in reducing the rate of disease progression demonstrated.
Interestingly, many people experience one or two exacerbations, and then for decades with no!
3) The latter two species are more difficult: primary progressive (PP) and secondary progressive MS. In the secondary progressive (SP), are people like me who started at with R / R, then "Advanced" MS.
In the case of PP and PS, exacerbations are common and are not in response to genuine symptoms, as they are in I / R. The symptoms as your friend problems with sight and hearing.
ABC and some other drugs for the treatment of type PP-MS, Tthe minds of others. My site offers a wealth of information about self-management of chronic diseases.
Finally, finally, if your friend joins the local chapter of the National Association of multiple sclerosis., Y is lots of help and support to find other "like them."
Good luck to your friend!
