I AM NOT YOUR SOROR, HOWEVER I WORKED IN THE NEUROLOGY FIELD FOR SEVEN YEARS AND MOST OF THE PATIENTS SUFFER WITH MS. FIRST IF SHE HASN'T ALREADY, LOCATE A NEUROLOGIST IN YOUR AREA. THIS TYPE OF DOCTER HAS ALL UP TO DATE INFORMATION FOR MS. RESEARCH YOUR AREA HOSPITALS. MANY NEUROLOGISTS ON STAFF USUALLY HAVE PRIVATE PRACTICES. THERE ARE TWO MAIN MEDICATIONS THAT WORK WONDERFULLY. THEY ARE AVONEX AND BETASERON AS WITH ALL MEDICATIONS, THERE AE SIDE EFFECTS. CONTACT HER DOCTOR REGARDING THESE. YOUR MOTHER AND DOCTOR WILL HAVE TO DECIDED ON WHICH MEDICATION TO ADMINISTER. SECONDLY, HER BODY TEMPERTURE WILL HAVE TO REMAIN STAILIZED DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. HEAT WILL EXACERBATE HER SYMPTOMS. EXERCISE IS KEY!!!! STIFFNESS OF THE JOINTS IS A MAJOR COMPLAINT OF MS PATIENTS. SHE WILL NEED PLENTY OF REST, AND AND BALANCED DIET. VITAMIN DEFICIENCY IS ALSO AN EFFECT OF MS.
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
A SISTERFRIEND
