Presentation transcript:

Multiple Sclerosis Michelle Olson and Jaclyn Miller

Introduction  Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, typically progressive disease involving damage to the sheaths of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord  Myelin damage disrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body

Etiology/Symptoms  The cause to Multiple Sclerosis is unknown  Numbness  Vision loss  Tingling  Electric-shock sensations  Tremors  Slurred speech  Fatigue  Dizziness

Statistical Information

Effects on Body  Higher risk for developing osteoporosis  The body’s immune system  Nerve and muscle troubles  Weakened trunk muscles  Immune cells attack

Affects on Individual  Body temperature  Depression  Epilepsy  Driving  Swimming  Depression/Anxiety  Medications

Testing/Detection  There is no specific test to determine whether a person has MS, the following are ways that doctors can eliminate other potential diseases which are related to MS:  Blood tests  Spinal taps  MRI

Therapies/Cures  Exercising  Balanced Diet  Relieving Stress  Counselors/Doctors  As of now, there is no known cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Drugs/Treatment Surgical options  Treatments:  Physical therapy  Muscle relaxants  Medicines include:  Beta interferons  Copaxone  Tecfidera

Prognosis  Average lifespan  Suicide rates  Secondary complications

Conclusion  Multiple Sclerosis affects the nervous system which gradually impacts the whole body  Hundreds of people are diagnosed with MS each week  Everyone has a different experience dealing and coping with MS  There is currently no cure for MS but researchers are making major progress towards finding one
