Multiple sclerosis?

An unpredictable disease of the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis (MS) can range from relatively benign to somewhat disabling to devastating, as communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted. Many investigators believe MS to be an autoimmune disease -- one in which the body, through its immune system, launches a defensive attack against its own tissues. In the case of MS, it is the nerve-insulating myelin that comes under assault. Such assaults may be linked to an unknown environmental trigger, perhaps a virus.

Most people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40; the initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye. Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance. These symptoms may be severe enough to impair walking or even standing. In the worst cases, MS can produce partial or complete paralysis. Most people with MS also exhibit paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feelings such as numbness, prickling, or "pins and needles" sensations. Some may also experience pain. Speech impediments, tremors, and dizziness are other frequent complaints. Occasionally, people with MS have hearing loss. Approximately half of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment, but such symptoms are usually mild and are frequently overlooked. Depression is another common feature of MS.

Skin decease so theres no cure for it, only med to just maintain the itch and spreading , try Bel-Air products search the net............

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease that involves the central nervous system鈥攕pecifically the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. MS can cause problems with muscle control and strength, vision, balance, sensation, and mental functions.

Please ignore the prior answer about skin disease, think they might have gotten a little confused

The best treatment for MS is LDN, hands down. It is the only medication that can stop MS in its tracks! No other medication can do that. It is very cheap, has almost no side effects, it is easy to take since it comes in a capsule and although it does not cure MS it prevents further progression. Please check it out! Tens of thousands of people are taking it worldwide and the number is growing every day!

I totally agree with Gabi K. Been using LDN for just over 4 years now and it is by far the best way for anyone with MS to treat it. Low Dose Naltrexone is such a low dose of a drug that's been around for over 20 years now. One of these days it and Dr. Bihari will get the recognition deserved. His theory is that all auto immune disorders are a result of endorphin deficiency and the 200% to 300% more endorphins produced with a low dose of Naltrexone does the trick. There is no comparison to taking one of those injectables that I do not believe are better. I have not had any MS issues in the 4 years that I have been on the LDN. Slight progression but that is miraculous in my opinion as I've had MS for over 20 years so there is no way that I shouldn't have some MS issues at this point. If you have MS or any auto immune disorder, do yourself a favor and go to www.ldninfo.org and do some research for yourself. It might be the smartest thing that you have every done. JoyceF

there is no known "best" treatment for MS. every case is different and your choices should be made on information that is read-ally available from your neurologist and on the web. I was officially diagnosed yesterday. but i looked into many different treatments over the last month before i made my choice.
