Could my boyfriend have MS (Multiple Sclerosis)? |
Hello I wanted to know if anyone has any info on MS,my boyfriends brother has it so it escalates my worry a little.My boyfriend has been falling up and down the stairs and even when he walks normally he is normally not like that.It has been happening for about 2-3 months and I am starting to get worried.It almost seems that he does it on purpose it happens so much.If anyone has any info or advice I would appreciate it. Thank you Tara MS is something serious the earlier it's detected the faster you can help him research on how to reverse its symptoms. 1st start out by getting to a neurologist so some testing could get done and there could be a diagnosis if any. 2nd start eating right and take care of his health 1st. Changing your diet is very important as you may not know there are many toxins in many foods as in everyday living products that you are probably not aware of as I wasn't at first. You could start by going to the library and reading some books on Multiple Sclerosis. Some one that I care for dearly was diagnosed and I changed my own diet from just reading all the research that I've done on toxins to fatting foods that are really hazerdous to our health. I follow the MS swank diet, you can go online and read, read, read, you will be amazed at all the research you will come across. EX: Aspertame or sucralose is very toxic for your body. Messes up your nervous system. Eventually taking in bad foods in your body will break the body down. Tara tell your boyfriend to set up an appt with the neurologist 1st thing. My loved one was tripping all over the place, on stairs, walking like he was drunk, very depressed, being fatigued, all of the MS symptoms until he was tookin to the ER room. where he was diagnosed. At least now we know what we're dealing with and have changed our whole way of life to eating healthier foods, taking in more supplements to try to build our body's immune system and even changing the products we use from soaps to wash clothes to non-chemicals products. Did you know that Tide laundry detergent has fiberglass, I said know wonder I have been itching! I know now with all the research I've done, the computer is there use it. I've gone to organic foods now. I see for myself that the foods last so much longer. Any feed back just holler.... MariaMaria It has been reported that MS is NOT hereditary. so it would be quite strange if both he and his brother had it. My mother had MS....I hear it does run in families.....but it isn't too prevalent to have siblings with it.... There are many symptoms....and like you said if his brother is getting extra attention for it...he very well may be faking it....... symptoms are: dizziness giddiness clumsiness loss of feeling in extremities loss of sight in one or both eyes intolerance to heat twitching eyes muscle spasms remissions periods when okay and then worse again.... tremors uncontrolled bladder and bowel I have MS but there are no others in my family with it. It doesn't always run in families but he may have a slightly higher percentage of getting MS. He would have other symptoms though. Does he have any numbness or ever lost vision in one eye? Does he have any tingling? These are some of the first signs of MS. They can happen many years before being diagnosed. I had all of these early symptoms but have been in remission for 15 years so I've been lucky. I also had some stumbling and fell a couple of times but that also is gone. If your boyfriend has other symptoms, make an appointment with a neurologist. They have some new medicines out now that can help him. It's better to get a diagnosis one way or the other than to worry about the outcome. BTW, most people with MS don't end up in a wheelchair. Living with MS MS isn't known to run in families. If someone in a family has MS it it raises the chances of someone else in the family getting MS by 2 or 3%.. That is an exceptionally low increase. If you are worried, you can confirm this statistic with the National MS Society. I've had MS for 4 years now. No one else in my family has it. According to the National MS Society, the average risk of someone in society getting MS is about 1 in 300. If you have a first-line relative (parent, sibling, etc) who has MS, that increases your risk to anywhere between 1 in 100 to 1 in 40. Balance and gait issues are definitely common MS symptoms, but he needs to be evaluated by a doctor and possibly a neurologist to determine what's causing these issues. HTH |
