They don't. Twins are an example of more than one baby. But from your view, our cells are complicated and to have more than one baby would take much more energy than is sensible.

If you have Fibromyalgia, Lupus or MS light headedness, dizziness and nausea are not uncommon. Medications you are taking can also cause these symptoms. You should be checked out by your doctor for any other potential causes.

Schwann cells are cells that are part of the nervous system, which warps around a nerve fiber and forms the nerve-insulating layer. Schwann cells are not affected greatly in multiple sclerosis, as MS is an autoimmune disease of the CENTRAL nervous system, and Schwann cells are only present in the PERIPHERAL nervous system. In the CNS, oligodendrocytes are responsible for insulating the axons with myelin, but are hardly affected in MS, as MS causes destruction of myelin, not the myelinating agents.

Before I answer this, remember that you can talk yourself into impotence! If you expect problems with your sex life and start watching for them, you can actually create the problems.

MS (multiple sclerosis) attacks the body's nervous system. There's no way of predicting exactly what nerves will be affected. For example, some people lose control of their lower limbs, some people experience numbness in various areas of the body. The most common effect is sudden, extreme fatigue that can make sex exhausting.

Unfortunately, loss of erotic response can also be a side effect of some of the drugs used to control the symptoms of MS.

The National MS Society has some literature about sex and MS. Please don't be afraid to talk about this with a medical professional and your partner. If MS (or anything else) has affected your sex life, talking to your partner is a good first step: you share the problem, and you have to work together to find solutions.

Pneumonia can be a complication of MS if the MS has caused swallowing problems (dysphagia), which cause choking and coughing. When this occurs, food and liquids can be aspirated into the airway/lungs. Particles that remain in the lungs can cause aspiration pneumonia.

does hyperintense means herniation dcis

No. It actually increases memory, cures cluster headaches, and it has shown to decrease tremors in those with Multiple Sclerosis. Psilocybin has also been know to have positive effects on depression, and current studies have gotten grants to do research on these medicinal values.

its hard to know that we still trying to find out

Usually some form of damage to the cerebellum, for example a stroke that causes the death of some of the cerebellum.

In the peripheral nervous system otherwise known as the PNS.

They can.. although it is not called Multiple Sclerosis it is called Canine Degenerative Myelopathy. It does the same thing as MS does, just being a dog, not a human. Although it usually affects older dogs, some breeds are more prone than others. (German shepards, Siberian huskies, collies, labrador retrievers, belgian shepards, and Kerry blue terriers).

Symptoms of MS can include a range of physical manifestations such as fatigue, limb numbness, balance and gait issues, vision impairment, pain, emotional and cognitive changes, bladder/bowel troubles and spasticity to name a few. However, other medical conditions share similar symptoms, which makes self-diagnosis difficult.

If experiencing symptoms such as the ones above, a visit to a doctor can begin the process of elimination. Should MS be suspected, a general practitioner may order an MRI of the brain. If the report notes the presence of white matter, which can indicate that the immune system is stripping myelin (or the coating of nerve ending) which may be responsible for the patient's symptoms. A neurologist is typically consulted and will runs several tests that check the patient's visual/audio responses. The neurologist may order a lumbar puncture scan the spinal fluid for traits known to MS.

Based on previous medical history, current symptoms and test results, medical professionals will then make a determination as to what condition the patient has. While MS has no known cure, there are several proven treatments available to assist the patient in maintaining an active life. Keep in mind that every person with MS has a unique experience with the disease. There are many online and local support groups for persons with MS and communication with one's doctor, coupled with a positive outlook, is key.

The best place for someone with MS to live is an area without humidity and climate changes. Humidity has a tendency to increase fatigue and prompt exacerbations in MS patients. I would recommend some place on the West Coast.

As far as prevention goes, the protective effects of geography only help you if you're 15 or younger. You would need to live below 40 degrees latitude in order to get the direct sunlight necessary to generate sufficient amounts of Vitamin D to have a preventative effect. If you are over 15 and then move to a place below 40 degrees latitude, the protective effects are seen in the next generation. From the National MS Society: Migration from one geographic area to another seems to alter a person's risk of developing MS. Studies indicate that immigrants and their descendents tend to take on the risk level-either higher or lower-of the area to which they move. The change in risk, however, may not appear immediately. Those who move before the age of 15 tend to take on the new risk themselves. For those who move after the age of 15, the change in risk level may not appear until the next generation. While underlining the complex relationship between environmental and genetic factors in determining who develops MS, these studies have also provided support for the opinion that MS is caused by early exposure to some environmental trigger in genetically susceptible individuals.

Women who have multiple sclerosis experience normal pregnancies. In fact, women who have MS who are pregnant experience fewer relapses and less severe disease symptoms during the course of their pregnancy and breastfeeding. Once the mother stops breastfeeding, usually her symptoms return.

Previously, this was attributed only to a natural suppression of the female immune system while she is with child (essentially a foreign tissue within her body). However, a recent animal study has shown that prolactin (the enzyme which causes lactation) actually causes the body to repair myelin. This link between prolactin and natural myelin restoration is being investigated.

Numbness and tingling are one of the early symptoms of MS. Numbness and tingling are a sensory symptom due to the nerves that are responsible for transmitting sensations not functioning properly.

Yes, sort of. In MS patients, leukocytes have crossed the blood-brain barrier and have entered into the central nervous system. There they attack the oligodendrocytes and the myelin sheaths they have produced to protect nerve axons. This can directly cause damage to the nerve or it can leave the nerve unprotected. Also, it greatly slows down the action potential in affected neurons, inhibiting nerve functioning in inflicted areas.

Linoleic acid is believed to be helpful because myelin is composed of lecithin , which is made of linoleic and other fatty acids.

No other consumable substance on the face of the earth has been studied more than aspartame. Over 30 years and over 200 scientific studies (the REAL kind, with words like "double-blind," "placebo-controlled," and "randomized" in their titles) have proven, re-proven, and reaffirmed, that aspartame is safe.

Researchers have spent a great deal of time reviewing every claim by people who believe that aspartame causes everything from MS (which, by the way, no one knows the cause, and has been documented for over 200 years, LONG before aspartame was even invented) to migraines and bulging eyes. Not a single claim of any cause has panned out under true scientific scrutiny. If you do have "proof" that aspartame causes any sort of disorder, look through your proof and see if there are any scientific studies that were done. Scientific studies use the big words above -- randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blind. Those tenets of a true scientific study ensure that there is no bias in the group and that the substance is tested against a "placebo," or a control substance. In essence, if there is no appreciable difference between the group which took the tested substance and the group which took a placebo, you can say that the substance did not appreciably contribute to those people developing the symptom in question.

Now, to more of the scientific detail. Aspartame is a compound made of two ingredients: aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. When aspartame is consumed, it is broken down in the body into three components: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. These three substances are then absorbed by the body and used in natural body processes, the same way your body uses those three substances when they are derived from food. None of the components of aspartame, nor aspartame itself, builds up in the body. The amounts of the three substances derived from aspartame are far smaller than you would get from food as well. For example, if you were to have a glass of tomato juice, you'd get about six times the methanol than you'd get from an aspartame-sweetened drink of roughly the same size. A glass of skim milk would give you six times the phenylalanine and thirteen times the aspartic acid you'd get from an equivalent aspartame-sweetened drink.

In short, hundreds of scientific studies over the past three decades have all resulted in the same outcome, and the same conclusion: aspartame is safe.
