Susie Cornell continues on from yesterday’s post with more info on MS.
In a recent interview Jack Osbourne revealed he has been diagnosed with MS. For me personally my life changed when I was diagnosed with MS and it made me focus on the things that I can do and not the things that I can’t do.
Looking at the positive side of any problem and putting all of your strength and determination into something that you “can do” helps you become a stronger person. I received my MBE because I have dedicated my life to things that I can do.

What causes multiple sclerosis? – Multiple sclerosis is caused by an unknown agent that gradually destroys the myelin covering, or sheath, of nerve fibers, resulting in a temporary interruption.
Is multiple sclerosis inherited? – Multiple sclerosis is a typical complex trait and susceptibility is genetically determined. People with MS inherit certain regions on individual chromosomes more often than people without MS.
What’s the typical course of multiple sclerosis? – Multiple sclerosis is recognized as occurring with seven different patterns. Multiple sclerosis starts with an acute flare-up of symptoms within hours to days.
Who is at the risk of multiple sclerosis? – Multiple sclerosis affects women almost twice as frequently as men. Climate, diet, geomagnetism, toxins, sunlight, genetic factors, and infectious diseases are risk factors for multiple sclerosis.
What types of multiple sclerosis are there? – Multiple sclerosis have different patterns including relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis, secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis.
What’re the signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis? – The first symptoms of multiple sclerosis are often visual changes. Later symptoms may include fatigue, muscle spasticity and stiffness, tremors, paralysis, pain.
How is multiple sclerosis diagnosed? – A definite diagnosis of multiple sclerosis requires evidence for dissemination of lesions within the central nervous system both in space and in time.
What’s the treatment for multiple sclerosis? – The treatment of multiple sclerosis aims at decreasing the rate and severity of relapse, reducing the number of lesions, delaying the progression of the disease.
What’s prognosis of multiple sclerosis? – Most people with multiple sclerosis will be able to continue to walk and function at their work for many years after their diagnosis.
Dietary therapy for multiple sclerosis – The main role of diet in multiple sclerosis is to enable people to manage common problems which include fatigue, incontinence and constipation.
Nutritional supplements for multiple sclerosis – Nutritional therapy is used for alleviating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis or altering the natural course of the disease.
Does multiple sclerosis affect pregnancy? – Multiple sclerosis has no adverse effects on the course of pregnancy, labor, or delivery. Pregnancy doesn’t affect the long term course of the disease.
