Which type of Multiple sclerosis do i have?

---

Hi, I'm 21 year old female. Just got diagnosed with MS, but i've had the symptoms for about a year now, Weakness and tingling feeling in my legs and arms. The symptoms come and go, on and off. When i first got the symptoms I had tingling in my legs and back and then I had a tremor in my legs. That lasted for about 2months. Then my symptoms went away for like 3 months. Then they came back and I had the tingly feeling all down the right side of my body.that lasted for a couple weeks. then now the only symptom I have is a stiff leg. The worst it has ever been was like for a week when I was limping. I know there are several types of MS, my question is if anyone can tell me what type I have from my symptoms?
Thanks for you answers. I am seeing a neurologist in a small city who has not been much help. I am in the process of transferring to a neurologist at a big city research hospital.
Hi yeayea14,

The most common type of MS is Relapsing Remitting MS (RRMS). Since your symptoms come and go, it sounds like that is what you have. Also, I speak from experience. Your story sounds exactly like mine when I was diagnosed at age 23.

With that said however, RRMS can change to a more severe form of the disease, or maybe not. No one really knows why, but earlier treatment helps.
Science has proven that it helps against the progression of the disease. There are no guarantees, but today, MS is very treatable.

It's so important to begin taking one of the medications that are now available to MS people now. Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone and Rebif have all been proven to help slow the progression of MS. There isn't a cure out there just yet.

Personally, I take Copaxone. It is a simple daily shot like a diabetic takes. The side effects are few. I've been taking it for 11 years now and doing well on it.

MS is not a death sentence. It definitely changes one's life. Actually, it changes the lives of all loved ones around.
It's great that you have reached out to others.
Learn all that you can. It will help.

I encourage you to go to a website I visit often called MSrefugees.com - it's a great site with lots of people like us. There you can get lots of helpful advice from people all over the country. Also, there are links ther to the Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone and Rebif sites.

btw, it's great that you are going to see a better doctor.
It's best to see a proactive MS specialist Neurologist. They really understand the disease best.
Feel free to contact me if you wish.

Take care.  (+ info)

how exactly are type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis examples of type IV hypersensitivity?

---

it is my understanding that type IV hypersensitivities are characterized by a cell mediated inflammatory response involving T helper cells binding some antigen and releasing cytokines (for instance the antigens created due to poison ivy on the skin). I was told that "type 1 diabetes and MS elicit type IV hypersensitivities" my question is: What do these disorders have to do with the above description of type IV hypersensitivities?????

Would you prefer having type 1 diabetes or having relapsing-remitting form of Multiple Sclerosis?

---

me and my bf are debating..LOL. what you think?
I would go with the M.S. because you can eat whatever you want, and people don't usually understand that it's not fatal, and its easily controlled as long as you carry a healthy life style (i.e. eating, sleeping, right and not stressing).

I suppose any disorder can be fatal if you don't take care of yourself, and yes diabetes can be fatal.

Can't really debate about the injections, because both conditions require injections.

Diabetes you can lose your vision, lose limbs if you don't take care of it. But M.S. you can get treatment for a relapse and your vision comes back.

The only way I'd personally rather have diabetes instead of M.S. relapse remitting is if I were a black male...such as Montel Williams. M.S. tends to be extremely aggressive in males particularly in black males.  (+ info)

Should women with von Willebrand's disease (type 2A) not have children?

---

I am doing some research on this hereditary bleeding disorder and I'm trying to find the answer to this question. I'm curious to know if it is too dangerous for women with von Willebrand's disease type 2A (the more serious form of the disease) to endure childbirth. Also, should women with this disease avoid getting pregnant because it is frequently passed down through parents to children?

for parents with multiple children with multiple partners, what type of relationship with the kids/parent?

---

for those who do incorporate them in their life, whats their view and what type of relationship do they have with the kids, and the other parents. what is it like dealing with one child with one mother for eg, then going and seeing another child with another mother. is there any feeling or attachment for the other parent(s)? is there less feeling for one child over another? would they wish it different, or is the whole setup good?

again, just curious..wnat to know the psychology behind it..

Multiple personality type thing as a coping skill?

---

Well I have bipolar and I deal with different people who come out at times to take over a situation and it feels like I am sitting in a movie theater watching from a 1st person view but I can't do anything about it ….what is this called?
There are 4 others and i have a main one...help me please
Well it's not MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) as the main personality doesn't know the others exsist. You'd also experience something similar to 'Blackouts' whilst the other people were in control.
It may be depersonalization. People often describe this as 'watching themselves'. If this is familiar to you see your psychiatrist/psychologist. It's doesn't endanger you or others around you as MPD might but it's horrible - I suffer with depersonalization myself.

Again - see your psychiatrist/psychologist.  (+ info)

I just found out by mistake that my mom has Multiple Myeloma which is a type of incurable Cancer

---

While i was in my mom's room today i found a medical report stating that she has Multiple Myeloma, at first i didn't know what is meant by Multiple myeloma but then i researched it and i found out that it's an incurable Cancer type and i'm completly devastated. I really don't know what to do, My Mom and dad obviosuly didn't want to tell me and my sisters about my Mom's condition. What am i supposed to do, how am i supposed to deal with such a sensitive topic, i can't imagine myself telling my Mom why didn't u tell us that u have cancer, i still can't believe it i feel like i'm dreaming and waiting to wake up.
You should tell your mother the truth, that you found her medical report and want to know more. That is the only way. Secrets like this are much like the cancer that she has . .it will just eat away at you. This is the reason that secrets about ones medical health will not work . .someone will always find out and it is far better to hear the truth than to be kept guessing.

Anyway, there are different stages of multiple myeloma and some patients can live with this type of cancer for years . . so do not rush her into a 'death sentence'. There are many types of incurable cancer . . in fact there is no cure for any type of cancer . .but there is treatment that will lead to long time remission or eventual 'cure' due to no more reoccurence. So do not give up on her just yet. Read as much as you can about the disease and what is offered for treatment options. People are living longer with cancer than ever before . . and the longer they can remain alive the closer research will come to finding solutions for the different cancer types. There is still hope for your mother and that is all you can focus on right now.
Best wishes.  (+ info)
