Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is an inflammatory disease that affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other. There is no known cure for MS. In this category you'll find information about MS symptoms, treatment and more.

What does a positive babinski reflex mean?
Dorsiflexion of the Big toe indicates a positive Babinski response. This is mostly seen from a central nervous system lesion in the corticospinal tract, but is also seen in unconscious states from drug or alcohol intoxication or the postictal period following a seizure.
What is periarticular osteopenia?
Osteopenia refers to demineralized or under mineralized bones. Periarticular osteopenia is a lowering of density in the area of bones which surround a joint. Periarticular osteopenia is most common in the hands, but can occur around any joint.
What is the cause of multiple system atrophy?
The cause of MSA has not been identified. MSA occurs in the general population in a sporadic manner. The disorder is degenerative and progressively worsens.
Can multiple judgment collection methods be used at the same time?
Like anything there may be an exception, but more than likely yes...absolutely!
The party owed the debt is allowed to use any and all legal means to collect it, until the entire amount that is due them is received. Once there is no debt all actions must cease.
There is no requirement that only one method be used and in fact, if the debt allows it (most do), the amounts expended for each of the methods may increase the debt to be collected by each of the collection methods.
Conversely - someone under a judgment has no "right" to avoid paying it, using either one or any number of methods of avoidance, including ignoring legal demands. The obligation is to pay your debts, actually before they become judgments. Obviously the laws would rightfully generally be on the side of one owed an amount.
No. A judgment creditor can only execute the writ in one form, such as a wage garnishment or bank account levy. A single judgment cannot be used in multiple ways to collect the debt. This is one reason wage garnishment is the preferred method of creditors as the garnishment will stay in effect until the debt is paid.
If multiple creditors have obtained judgments against the debtor the judgments will be enforced according to their priority. Multiple judgments cannot be executed against a debtor at the same time. For example if several judgment holders place liens against a debtor's property the first lien holder gets paid first, and then the second and so on. The same holds true for wage garnishments or the levying of bank accounts.
Additionally the debtor has the legal right to protect exempted personal and real property from creditor attachment to the extent allowed by state and federal laws.

As we get older why do are bones get stiff and achey?
Throughout your life, your bones are always moving. Even when you are asleep you move around. Between the joints in your body are layers of protective material, called cartillage. This acts to protect the joints and bones from damage and to act as a lubricant to allow the two bones to move against each other easily.
However, as the bones move, and as we get older, the cartilage begins to wear away and eventually is worn through completly. This results in the two bones moving on each other and grinding, causing reduced movement and often soreness and pain. This is called osteoarthritis.
There are things you can do to try and slow the onset of Osteoarthritis. Oddly enough, one of them is to get regular exercise. While heavy exercise will cause the cartilage to wear quicker (as it did for me playing American Football), gentle exercise will help strengthen the muscles, allowing them to take more of the strain from the bones, and reducing the amount of pressure that the cartilage is put under.
Does Multiple Sclerosis affect the heart?
Yes, multiple sclerosis can affect the heart. Since ms can affect autonomic function (involuntary functions such as digestion and heart rhythmia), it is possible that the heart is affected (depending on where the brain lesions occur).

What are some of the accomplishment of Biogen Idec?
Biogen Idec are a manufacturer of drugs to help with the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Biogen Idec are currently focusing most of their research on respiratory diseases and congestive heart failure.
Symptoms may be made worse by a number of conditions, such as temperature change (especially exposure to cold), touching the painful area, movement, and emotions or stress.
Do you need to have lumbar puncture for certain to diagnose ms?
No, you do not need to have a lumbar puncture (also called a spinal tap) to have a diagnosis of definite MS.
The clinical diagnosis of MS is made when the patient has two clinical events separated by space and time. Separation of space means having symptoms in different bodily systems; for example, a vision change and a motor control issue. Separation of time is most universally regarded as a difference of about six months. Additionally, there must be no other cause for these events.
MS is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that you have to exclude everything else that could potentially be causing those symptoms until all you are left with is MS. This is because every symptom which can appear with MS can also appear in other diseases and conditions. This is why MS is often called "the Great Imitator."
The lumbar puncture is part of the "body of evidence" which is used to confirm a diagnosis of MS. Used more frequently these days is a high-field (1.5T or 3T) MRI of the brain. These tests, along with meeting the clinical standards listed above, can lead to a diagnosis of MS.
Does multiple sclerosis affect th skeletal system?
Multiple sclerosis is the disease of Nervous system. It is a body's rogue inflammatory response to it's own Nervous system. It does not affect the skeletal system ( which includes the bones of our body).
Is it safe to have coffee enemas for multiple sclerosis?
Whether or not you have MS does not affect the safety or efficacy of a coffee enema. It does present some unique challenges though:
- One of the noted problems with coffee enemas is that people put the coffee in too hot. MS patients may have limited nerve response from the bowels, so the chance for scalding the colon and/or rectum could be increased
- Low motility could cause the enema to remain in the colon longer than intended, increasing the risk of conditions like caffeine overdose and enteric septicemia.
Coffee enemas are widely disputed as having little more benefit than a traditional saline enema, and actually can impose greater risk than a traditional enema.

Will a hyperbaric chamber help multiple sclerosis?
A hyperbaric chamber is a small vessel which can be used as a diving chamber, or can be used on land to increase air pressure. It can be used to medically treat divers who were surfaced too quickly by re-pressurizing them to force the nitrogen in their blood to return to solution. Following this, they are decompressed slowly, which keeps the nitrogen in the blood in solution.
Hyperbaric chambers can also be used in a medical technique known as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This therapy has been shown to positively affect cerebral palsey, athough the mechanism is still as of yet undetermined.
Some early experiments with Multiple Sclerosis patients showed that HBOT may help improve bowel and bladder control. However, a review by the Cochrane Collaboration discovered, after ten trials and 21 analyses, that there was "no consistent evidence to confirm a beneficial effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and [they] do not believe routine use is justified"
Part of the risk factors for developing MS include genetics, but the risk of developing MS is not all influenced by genetics.
The average risk of a person in society developing MS is 1 in 750. But if you have first-degree relatives (parents, siblings, etc.) who have MS, then your risk increases to anywhere between 1 in 100 to 1 in 40. But it is not all genetic. You can see this through the "identical twin" example. If you had an identical twin (same DNA structure, etc) who had MS, your risk of developing MS would be 1 in 4. If genetics were completely responsible for determining MS risk, your risk should be 100%. The fact that your risk is only 25% shows that there are other factors involved in determining your risk; ethnicity, geography, sex, and an as-of-yet undiscovered environmental "trigger" (such as a common disease), all of which play into your risk of developing MS.
Fever Muscle and joint pain 3 weeks now why?
I'm expereincing the same thing. I've tested negative for the flue twice now over a 3 week period. Also x-rays of my lungs showed no signs of pneumonia. Blood platelets and white cell count were normal in a blood test.
I'm running typically about 101-102 but I did have to make a trip to a clinic yesterday because my fever spiked up to 104. I have the muscle and joint aches as well as extreme fatique.
I've already finished 1 round of anitbiotics and was feeling better but then my fever went up again and now I'm on a second round of stronger stuff.
The odd thing is its usually ab out 4-5 PM every evening that my fever really tries to go up on me.
The onset of MS is usually at age 20 to 40 years
