MS vision problems are one of the more intimidating and harder to treat symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is an increasingly common illness, and in some cases it can be fatal. Even in the mildest case, though, MS is a disease that makes life pretty miserable. There is no drug to cure MS. However, recent breakthroughs soon to be published will change how fatal and how permanent MS is for anyone who contracts it.
In order to deal with or reduce the risks of multiple sclerosis vision problems, however, one needs to understand this disease. Like many common dangerous diseases in today’s society, though, MS is misunderstood. There are many mistruths about MS that are taken to be facts by average people. As a result, MS is more fatal and damaging than it needs to be.
First of all, this disease can affect anyone. It’s a common misconception that this disease affects only elderly or very ill people. MS is an equal opportunity disease and everyone should be learned in how to spot its symptoms and onset, as well as what to do to fight the symptoms within the realm of the possible.
Multiple sclerosis gets its name from the Latin scleroses meaning scars. This is due to the scarring and holes that form in the myelin during this disease’s progress. Myelin is an insulation that wraps around the nervous system of the body, allowing electricity and signals to travel unhindered. When the decay begins (a process known as demyelination), these signals and supplies of power quickly become insufficient for the body to perform to specifications.
As this worsens, symptoms begin to appear in varying levels of severity in almost every critical part of the body. Incontinence, vision loss, sensory dulling, tingling, muscular fatigue and cardiac problems are just a few on the list.
MS vision symptoms are one of the common ones, especially in adults. However, there’s not any real easy way to treat this symptom, but it’s still possible to be proactive nonetheless.
Ways of reducing MS (multiple sclerosis) vision problems.
Being proactive about overall multiple sclerosis symptoms is something any physician will recommend immediately upon diagnosing the disease. Since the circulatory and muscular problems are among the contributors to the vision degradation, addressing them is as close to a direct vision treatment as one can easily achieve.
To improve muscle strength, increasing vitamin D and potassium in the diet often proves somewhat helpful. Also, stretches and low impact aerobics and yoga seem to help to strengthen the muscles as well. This has the added benefit of improving circulation and oxygen delivery though out the body, which can also help reduce diminished vision and other symptoms.
Some might suggest increasing the intake of other vitamins which are known to promote good eye health as well. Preventing overexposure to bright light or sunlight directly into the eyes is recommended when vision is dulling due to MS as well.
Before making any severe changes or adding exercise regimes, consult a physician, as the other random effects on the body may react negatively if this is done improperly.
