Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Multiple Sclerosis Robert O’Sullivan

There is a disease that is sweeping through the world and it is called Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However there is no known way on how MS is diagnosed there is a procedure that is changing the life of those who have had the operation done. Having Multiple Sclerosis has a huge impact on your life. Living with this disease is very hard, and I know what it is like seeing someone with it, my heart goes out to all those who have this disease.

There is no known disease to cure Multiple Sclerosis. However experts have been researching immune disorders. What normal happens is a virus enters the body, and then your immune system kicks in. Your immune system targets the virus and destroys it. What experts have suspected is the MS virus is so strong that that the immune system doesn’t suspect that is it a virus but instead myelin. Shortly after the virus starts attacking immune system in particular the tissues. This eating away of the tissue results in the supposed cause of MS. This messes up the nervous system attacking the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.

There is a new procedure that is sweeping the world and having remarkable results. Dr. Paolo Zamboni took 65 patients with MS, and two years after the sugary 73% of patients had no symptoms. Dr. Zambonis thesis is that MS is a result of blockage of veins and arteries that remove iron from reaching the brain. What Zamboni has done is he has simply just expanded the veins and reopening blood flow. That can cause elimination of the disease.

Many people have to live through life with disease; it can be easier for some but very hard and challenging for others. One example is Kelli age 21; she is only 21 and may have to live with this disease for the rest of her life. She described Multiple Sclerosis as being just terrible for your body. “It feels like your legs are jello after running a marathon and a feather is like picking up one thousand pounds.” “Your legs and arms feel like their asleep and you are having the prickles for twenty four hours seven days a week. I myself know someone who has Multiple Sclerosis, my Nana has MS. Having MS has made my Nana’s life I nightmare. She has trouble balancing which has resulted in her falling down and breaking her hips, each on separate times. But my Nana went to California to undergo the operation. Sadly the operation was not a success. When the veins were expanded the blood should immediately start to flow, but there was a problem with one of the flaps in her brain which didn’t let the blood low. Yes it was unfortunate because all of these results were happening and the fact that it didn’t happen to her was terrible.

In conclusion there are new developments that are happening with amazing results almost curing all of those who take the operation. Reason that there is no cure is that there I no known cure on how we can live our lives so that we can live our lives without worrying about getting the disease. Even though someone has MS they are perfectly capable of living their lives happily.
