Multiple Sclerosis
Disability Care
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system and is a reality for over 25,000 Australians. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease where the immune system attacks the protective covering (myelin) around nerve fibers, causing communication problems between the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. Over time, this can lead to permanent damage and deterioration of nerve function.
MS can cause a wide range of symptoms, which can differ from person to person and change over time, depending on the location of the affected nerve fibers. Some common symptoms include:
Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs
Tremors
Lack of coordination
Bowel or bladder problems
Electric shock sensation when bending the neck forward
Partial or complete vision loss
Slurred speech
Fatigue
Dizziness
Sexual dysfunction
There are several different subtypes of MS, including: Relapsing-remitting MS, Secondary progressive MS, Primary progressive MS, Progressive relapsing MS, Balo's Disease, MS in children. At Personalised Care, we believe that everyone should have access to the support they need to live their best life, regardless of the type of MS they have.
