Multiple Sclerosis

 

Multiple Sclerosis


Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disabling neurological disease with the onset of its symptoms generally beginning between the ages of 20 to 40 years. The disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin (a protective material that surrounds nerve cell axons).


The attacks happen in the central nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is a disease where a previously healthy person may suddenly experience a symptom, such as blindness, for a short period, but will regain partial or full recovery.


Multiple Sclerosis and Your Skin


If you suffer from MS, you may find that damage to the sensory pathways in your central nervous symptoms has caused abnormal sensations in your skin. These early-stage multiple sclerosis skin problems and sensations can include tingling, pain, numbness, and itching.


Some MS sufferers feel like their skin is crawling, may have an intense pressure, or even like their skin is burning. It’s important to know that this isn’t real. The damaged parts of the brain that receive signals are confused and are sending the wrong message.


Although MS doesn’t cause dry skin in itself, often the medication you take can cause your skin to feel dry and itchy. You may even find that you develop rashes, hives, or red skin.


To save on fighting off further unnecessary symptoms, many doctors suggest using a moisturizing cream as part of your personal care routine.
