Can Focusing our Minds Help to Reduce MS Symptoms?

MS mind and repairing ms damage

Can focusing our minds help to aid in reducing ms symptoms?

Our minds have an amazing ability to focus the energy from our bodies to enhance how well our bodies respond to what we instruct them to do. When we focus our minds on doing something specific, like taking a step, walking, standing up or even with reducing how we respond to ms stress, our bodies listen and respond to the brain's instructions that are sent to that part of the body.

This is why whenever a clinical trial or study is performed on a new technique or with testing a new prescription drug that the researchers and doctors alike are always trying to avoid the "placebo effect".

The "placebo effect" is where the power of suggestion is so strong to our minds that if we suggest that something can help our bodies to heal, repair or respond in a particular way that (even if a sugar tablet or sugar water is given in place of the drug or technique being tested) - many people will respond to the positive suggestion and improve -- sometimes in an amazing way -- even if they start out with a very severe health condition.

In most cases of Multiple Sclerosis, MS attacks and causes damage to the myelin sheath along the spinal cord or to the damage in different parts of the brain, that can result in MS scarring throughout the brain.  The scarring that results in the majority of the cases of Multiple Sclerosis can be seen on ms mri test results, that are often used for diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis.

It is true, that from a neurological point of view, the scarring that often results in the majority of the cases of MultipleSclerosis can interfere with the brain being able to communicate with the rest of the body through the nerve signals being able to travel from the brain to throughout the body.  This is a key problem with the majority of the cases of Multiple Sclorosis.

But this is not related to much of what I am discussing here.  What I am referring to about the amazing powers of the mind to help prompt the body to speed up the repair process throughout the body involves how we focus our minds more than the actual neurological function of the brain.

Taming Multiple Sclerosis or Taming MS: What can Help?

Taming Multiple Sclerosis or Taming MS

Previously, the overall medical community thought that Multiple Sclerosis was untameable, since both the MS disease process an the causes of Multiple Sclerosis were not understood much at all. All that could be done at that point in time was to chase symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, in an attempt to bring some relief to those who suffered with Multiple Sclerosis.

But as ms research, but as more is being understood about both the MS disease process and about how to slow the progression of Multiple Sclerosis, more effectively, more things are coming to light about what may help more with taming Multiple Sclerosis and not just finding ways to reduce MS symptoms without addressing the underlying problems with Multiple Sclerosis that actually generate the symptoms of MS.

More is also being understood about how ms physical therapy and other types of ms therapies can help with taming ms by reducing the effects of MS on the body by retraining and reprogramming the body to function better again.

Physical therapy and other forms of ms therapies have been used more with MS patients over the last 10 years, and the positive results have been noticeable in the majority of cases of Multiple Sclerosis. These results give us a much more positive outlook on how well physical therapy and other ms therapies can help those of us diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis to recover more of our abilities to function.

The idea behind why this help those of us with MS to function better again is because doctors and ms researchers alike have been finding that the nerves throughout the brain and the rest of the body can be exercised more like a muscle can be exercised, more like a muscle than it was previously thought that this was even possible.

What MS Facts have been Discovered through Doing MS Research?

ms facts or multiple sclerosis facts

Multiple Sclerosis is known as an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks itself, as if it is a foreign invader, which the body needs to defend itself against.

Sclerosis means scarring. Scarring is seen in the majority of the cases of MultipleSclerosis that are diagnosed each year.  The scarring is seen as plaques or lesions on the test results from performing ms mri tests or magnetic resonance imaging tests on different parts of the body.

Diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis is done after performing mri tests, pin-prick tests, retinal scans, or a sample of spinal fluid is collected by doing a ms spinal tap and the sample is analyzed for certain protein markers that are characteristically present when the condition of Multiple Sclerosis is also present in the body.

Multiple Sclorosis is known to attack and often damage nerves throughout the central nervous system, throughout the body.

The majority of the scarring that is seen in most cases of Multiple Schlerosis is present on the spinal cord or through out the brain.

The myelin, a fatty tissue which surrounds, insulates and protects the nerves running throughout the spinal cord, is attacked and damaged in the majority of the cases of Multiple Scerosis.

Which MS Symptoms are related to MS Nerve Damage?

ms nerve damage

What is Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis is classified as an autoimmune disorder, where the body attacks itself as if it is a foreign invader that the body needs to defend itself against. Sclerosis is another name for the scarring that appears in the majority of the cases of MultipleSclerosis. The most common way of diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis is through ms mri tests or magnetic resonance imaging tests, where the person's whole body can be scanned to determine if there is scarring or demyelination on the spinal cord or throughout the brain.

Multiple Sclerosis nerve damage

Multiple Sclerosis attacks the nerves through out the body and scaring or demyelination results. In more severe cases of MS nerve damage can result.  The more severe MS nerve damage becomes, the more this can reult in many more problems with severely reducing how well  different parts of the body can functie body to functioon, often on a daily basis.

Based on what the doctors told me, after I was first diagnosed with a severe case of Multiple Sclerosis, the symptoms of ms nerve damage, which are often seen in more severe cases of MS, which can be signs of ms nerve damage being being present can include any of the following:

* foot drop or clonus - this describes the loss of control of one or both of your feet or a loss of nerve function in one or both of the feet (this can result in ms numbness, ms foot pain, ms nerve pain, and turning of the foot sideways whenever you try to take a step or stand with your feet flat on the floor or clonus).

* loss of muscle strength in the legs or feet - this can result in problems picking one or both feet or of either of the legs, loss of balance,

As the medical community is finding out more about the amazing abilities of the mind in reducing symptoms of different diseases, more of the doctors, who use complimentary medicine in their practices, are turning to using more mind focusing techniques  or Mind-Body techniques to help reduce the ms symptoms that their MS patients are experiencing.

What Helpful Information is available about Multiple Sclerosis?

ms information or information ms

There is much more that is being learned and understood about Multiple Sclerosis, recently than there was just 20 years ago.

This has come about because of the broad range of areas that MS research has been directed towards, in an attempt to figure out the possible causes. Different areas are also being pursued as potential cures for multiple sclerosis at the same time.

Many more cases of Multiple Sclorosis have been appearing in more different countries around the world, than have been seen at any other time through out the world's history.

This has caused more alarm with the overall medical communities of the many countries around the world, where Multiple Schlerosis is appearing, where M S was not a problem previously.

MultipleSclerosis is appearing more as a major world wide problem, and unless something is found or discovered that can reduce the rate of increase of the ms incidence rate.

Why are most cases of MS so Difficult to Diagnose?

Progression of MS or Stages of MS

Most cases of Multiple Sclerosis start out very mild with symptoms that tend to come and go for over a period of 2 to 5 years before the MS symptoms become severe enough or consistent enough that the person whose body is under attack by Multiple Schlerosis realizes that something more drastic or more serious than a mild cold or a short-lived flu virus is going on that is tearing down their health and making them sicker, more often than other people that are around them.

Part of the reason that this tends to happen this way is that until the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis become severe enough -- such as the symptoms of ms insomnia, ms heat sensitivity, ms incontinence, ms vision problems, and several other of the long list of possible early symptoms that can be associated with many of the cases of MultipleSclerosis these symptoms are not so easy to recognize that they are associated together and caused by the autoimmune disorder called Multiple Sclerosis. It isn't until enough of the broad range symptoms of MultipleSclerosis appear more often on a more consistent basis that a pettern emerges that makes it easier to see that these are not just unassociated health problems that are occurring. 

This is all so puzzling to doctors and patients alike because it is all too easy to mistake the mild MS symptoms initially for other conditions that are not considered chronic or as severe as the majority of Multiple Schlerosis cases can become. Once the mild Multiple Sclerosis symptoms become more noticeable and more regular in their appearance, this is often when the person battling with the mild symptoms of MS actually decides that they had better go to a doctor to help them figure out why they are feeling so exhausted, or just plain sick so much of the time.

What causes Spasms, Twitching and Tremors in MS?

ms spasms, twitching multiple sclerosis, multiple sclerosis spasticity, ms tremors

What causes spasms, twitching and uncontrollable movements in those of us that who are given the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis?

There are a few possible causes that can account for these type of multiple sclerosis responses.

There are a few explanations by the medical community that can include:

* possible nerve damage - the more severe a ms spasm can is, there is a much higher possibility of there being multiple sclerosis nerve damage present, but this is not always the case in most cases of more extreme spasiticy in the majority of cases of Multiple Sclerosis.

reversing ms nerve damage can take time and effort and changing a few of our life style habits, including changing the ms diet, reducing ms stress, reducing ms fatigue, increasing ms exercise, adding ms juicing, adding taking ms vitamins, and getting more sunlight and getting rid of negative thinking and negative talk that we use to talk to ourselves and to others, and allowing ourselves to learn how to live life again.

* extreme ms vitamin deficiencies - the medical community is finding that many cases of MultipleSclerosis can result in vitamin deficiencies. More extreme vitamin deficiencies in magnesium and calcium have been found to increase the severity and the frequency of the appearance of muscle tightness, ms muscle spasms and muscle cramping in the average person, but for those of us with Multiple Sclorosis, magnesium and calciumis deficiencies can cause often much more severe problems with multiple sclerosis spasms, multiple sclerosis tremors, or ms spasticity.

How does MS Affect the Nervous System?

Multiple sclerosis nervous system

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder, where the body attacks itself as if it is a foreign invader that it needs to defend itself against.   MultipleSclerosis is known for attacking the central nervous system and causing scarring or lesions that can be seen on mri tests, which are used for determining if Multiple Sclorosis is the culprit for the set of symptoms that the patient is experiencing.

Multiple Sclerosis is most often seen to cause scarring or damage to the myelin sheath along the spinal cord or cause scarring or lesions through out the brain. The symptoms of Multiple Sc or MS can vary greatly because it depends on which part of the nervous system that is being targeted in each particular case of Multiple Schlerosis. 

The ms scarring or ms lesions, which result because of present of M S in the body, can interfere in the transfer of the nerve signals from the brain to the other parts of the body.  This can result in the nerve signals either being block or confused or it can result in the signal becoming more intermittent, where the nerve signal is only transmitted part of the time. 

Since the brain is the master controller of the body, which sends instructions to different parts of the body to instruct the different parts of the body on how to function, the blocking or scrambling of the nerve signals or instructions sent from the brain can affect a huge amount of ways that the body functions on a regular basis.  The effects on the ms brain can be mild to severe and can often result in more extreme MS symptoms, which can reduce how well the body functions.

There are many effects that Multiple Sclerosis has on the Multiple Sclerosis brain, that can affect what we can or can not do.

How does MS Affect how well our Brains Function?

MS brain, MS cognitive and MS memory

Multiple Sclerosis is considered an autoimmune disorder, where the body becomes confused and attacks itself, as if it is a foreign invader that the body needs to defend itself against.  M S is known for attacking the nerves, and especially the myelin sheath along the spinal cord and various parts of the brain.

Our bodies are at least 60% nerves and our brains are at least 80% nerves and because of this, MultipleSclerosis can affect many parts of our entire bodies.  The myelin sheath, along the spinal cord and the brain are the 2 main areas of the body that Multiple Schlerosis often attacks.  Multiple Sclorosis or multiple scarring can also be a result through out other nerves throughout the body, but the ms tests do not detect the other scarring throughout the body as well as it can be detected in the brain on the spinal cord. 

MS scarring and ms nerve damage in the brain can result in a whole host of symptoms, that can affect how well we function on an intermittent basis or on a more consistent, daily basis.

MS scarring can result in brain function problems that can affect many ways that our bodies can function. A general term that includes many of the problems that our brains can experience i s called cognitive brain function.

How does MS affect memory?

Multiple Sclerosis and memory problems can become very unsettling as they become more severe. But how and why does this happen?

Because Multiple Sclerosis is known to attack nerves and especially the spinal cord and the brain, which is composed of 80% nerve cells, MS can affect memory in a few different ways.

What Tests Are Used To Diagnose Multiple Sclerosis?

Although there are tests that can be performed to help diagnose Multiple Sclerosis, it is not necessarily an easy task, when it comes to actually diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis.

Since Multiple Sclerosis can include any combination of a broad range of symptoms, it can sometimes be difficult for doctors to determine if a person has Multiple Sclerosis or some other disease or type of condition that can cause the symptoms that the patient is experiencing.

Tests can be performed to determine if Multiple Sclerosis is present.

What are the Effects of Multiple Sclerosis on the Immune System?

Immune system multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis attacks nerves or nerve cells throughout out bodies.  MultipleSclerosis is known for attacking and causing damage to the myelin sheath that surround, protect and insulate the spinal cord. M S also tends to attack the brain, and in particular the Blood Brain Barrier, which surrounds and protects the brain.  Most cases of Multiple Sclorosis tend to result in damage to the nerve cells thorough out the body, which usually results in scarring after each ms attack, ms exacerbation or ms relapse.

 Muliple Sclerosis also weakens the immune system, setting us up to end up with frequent infections more often that are difficult for our bodies to fight back against.  Just about any kind of infection appears to become a possibility for those with MS, but there are certain types of infections that are seen more often in those with Multiple Sclerosis.

Can dietary changes help those with MS to find relief to their symptoms of MS?

Ms Diet or Diet and Multiple Sclerosis

There are a few diets that recommended for those of us with Multiple Sclerosis, which may help in reducing the severity and frequency of MS. Since not every case of MultipleSclerosis is the same or even as similar as you think it would be.

Dietary changes have been used with MS patients, in some cases for 10 to 20 years with some success being noted for helping to reduce the symptoms of MS. It has also been documented, in many cases that certain dietary changes can help to reduce the number of ms relapses, ms exacerbations, or ms attacks. Which are experienced by those that have been given the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

It is way too easy for those of us with Multiple S or Multiple Sclerose to have a problem with having one infection after the other, sometime for 3 to 6 months straight because of Multiple Sclerosis immune system being weakened, our immune systems do not respond as they should.  Our immune systems can become so much weaker after just one infection that it takes too long for our bodies to recover after an infection.

What are Relapses, Exacerbations and Attacks in MS?

ms relapses, ms exacerbations, ms attacks 

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder, where the body attacks itself, as if it is a foreign invader.  The majority of what is attacked and damaged is ms nerves or ms neurons.  The attacks, relapses or exacerbations are all different words for describing what it is called during the periods of time where the body is under attack by whatever is the cause of Multiple Sclerosis.

MS exacerbations, relapses and attacks are pretty much different names for describing the same thing.  Basically ms relapses, attacks and exacerbations are where the myelin sheath on the spinal cord, the Blood Brain Barrier or other nerves throughout the body are damaged, degrading the nerves that are attacked and resulting in scarring in place of the damaged nerve cells.

The result of the ms relapses cause our bodies to show function less than it could before the relapse occurred. The relapses are often followed by some recovery from the loss of function during the relapses, where the body appears to go into remission. MS research is helping us to understand more of the effect of Multiple Sclerosis on the body with relapses being followed by partial or maybe even full recovery of what was lost during the attack.

MS Stress: Can Reducing Stress Help increase MS Stem Cells?

Finding ways to reduce our MS stress for those of us who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis does more for reducing our Multiple Sclerosis symptoms than researchers and doctors alike really knew or understood before.

Reducing stress levels, after we are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis can definitely help reduce the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, but did you know that reducing stress can actually help to increase the number of stem cells that our immune system produces to help repair damage to the immune system?

This can actually decrease the demyelination of the spinal cord and the brain by helping to reduce MS exacerbations, relapses or attacks and by boosting the body's own defenses by the immune system, when it comes to being able to fight off infections.

The MS research has been showing much more that when we find ways to reduce the stress that we are over reacting to that this helps to calm down our over reactive nervous systems. On top of this, reducing how stressed out we feel can actually help the body to relax and rest, which will stimulate stem cells to be produced in our bodies. These stem cells help to repair the damage to the myelin sheath, which insulates and protects the spinal cord, in addition to helping to repair the Blood Brain Barrier, which surrounds and protects the brain.

Stress MS: Reducing Stress with Multiple Sclerosis Helps Reduce MS Attacks and MS Symptoms

Finding ways to reduce MS stress for those of us that have the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis does more for reducing our MS symptoms than researchers and doctors alike ever knew before.

When those of us with stressing out over things in our lives, this just adds to making our Multiple Sclerosis symptoms worse. Our over reactions to stress can actually set up our systems for a MS attack, exacerbation or a MS relapse to occur more often.

MS research is revealing so much more about how our over reactions to stress, for those of us with Multiple Sclerosis, can actually stimulate MS demyelination of our spinal cords and maybe even our brains, which can result in more frequent and more severe relapses of our Multiple Sclerosis symptoms.

Finding ways to reduce MS stress helps to calm down our over reactive nervous systems, which often is a result of Multiple Sclerosis. Reducing how stressed out we feel can actually help the body and finding ways to relax and rest can actually stimulate stem cells to be produced in our bodies.

This is a way for our bodies to start to repair the damage to the myelin sheath, which insulates and protects the spinal cord, in addition to starting to help to repair the Blood Brain Barrier, which surrounds and protects the brain.

I have tried many different ways to reduce the Stress that I have been feeling sometimes too much of the time, to reduce the effects of stress on my nervous system and help to reduce my MS attacks, that have been multiplied in how often they appear and it has been more difficult for me to find anything that appears to work for me.

But I finally found a form of meditation that actually works for reducing MS stress and it doesn't require spending hours to learn how to do it and it is so easy to do too!

MS Stress: How can Stress-related Emotions Affect MS?

To those of us diagnosed with MS stress plays a major role in causing more severe and more frequent MS attacks, exacerbations and relapses.

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune response, where the body attacks itself, resulting in damage to the myelin sheath, along the spinal cord or possibly even damage to the Blood Brain Barrier or BBB that surrounds and protects the brain. This can result in damage to either the mylein sheath or to the MS brain, which results in MS scarring or MS palques that results, that can be seen on MS mri test results.

A wide range of MS symptoms can result, which can vary from mild to more severe in intensity and frequency. Most cases of Multiple Sclerosis are characterized by MS exacerbations or MS relapses, which are often followed by MS remissions. During the periods of remission, the body is repairing the damage to the myelin sheath or to the brain.

MS research is revealing more about how the body works to repair damage to the myelin sheath and the BBB (blood brain barrier). MS stress adds to how severe and how often the relapses and exacerbations can become. If we can find a way to reduce our over reactions to stress, MS research is finding that this not only reduces our MS symptoms, this can acually help our bodies to start to produce more of the ms stem cells that can help to start to repair damage to the myelin sheath.

I have found that with my own case of Multiple Sclerosis, that the more I stress out about anything, the more this causes my nervous system to short circuit, making my symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis go totally crazy. I have tried many things, in an effort to find ways to reduce my reactions to stress. It has taken me a few years to find anything that really helps to relax my body and reset where my brain defines what is stress and what is not stress.

I have tried many kinds of meditation and many of them helped with reducing some of my Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, but not enough to make a big enough difference in how severe my symptoms often became. Within the last 2 years, I finally found a type of meditation that helps so much more with reducing my often extreme levels of MS stress that I sometimes feel all too often. This type of meditation also helps with reducing my stress-related emotions that actually cause my MS symptoms to become so much worse, that they would be otherwise.

If done consistently over a period of a few months, this type of meditation helps to retrain the brain to redefine what it considers to be stress. This really works for helping to calm down the over reactions of my MS nerve function problems.

What Treatments are Used for Reducing MS Symptoms?

Treat Multiple Sclerosis

The cause of Multiple Sclerosis is not well understood and the number of cases of Multiple Sclorosis, which are being diagnosed are on the increase, as more and more cases of the Multiple Sclerosis are appearing in many more countries around the world.

In response to this disturbing trend, the medical communities around the world are making more of an effort to work together to focus their efforts in their search for a cure to Multiple Sclerosis. In an attempt to slow the progression of MS and to speed up the process in finding some type of solution to the problem, the MS research is heading in several different directions at the same time.  

More doctors are turning to alternative medicine or complimentary medicine in an attempt to find something that can help to bring relief to the MS symptoms that their patients are suffering from.  Complimentary medicine includes the use of prescription drugs as a Multiple Sclerosis treatment, combined with using other ways to aid in reducing the often severe symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.

How important is it for those with MS to Find Social Connections?

MS support and MS social connections

How important is it for those with M S to Find Social Connections?

As our MS symptoms become worse, and our degree of ms disability increases, is it even a reasonable idea that we can find social connections?

Is the effort worth finding social connections after we have been given the Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis?

The answer is -- Yes.

It is not only worth it for those of us that have been given the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis to go to whatever efforts we need to for us to be able to make new social connections with the world around us -- it is vital for us to find a way for us to maintain or even forge new social connection with other people around us.

For us to at least survive or possibly even thrive, while we are going through all of the ups and downs that Multiple Sclerosis has inflicted on our bodies and has brought into our lives, we definitely have to find a way to make social connections -- with both those that have M S and those that do not.

We need to do this for several reasons.

MS Memory: Remembering Good Memories about Ourselves

MS Memory

Think of something that happened in your life to you that is a funny memory – something that reminds you about an experience that you had, before Multiple Sclerosis entered your life.  Ask your friends to remind you of the a funny memory that you shared with them in the past about yourself.  Reminiscing about the good times or about the good memories in your life does help to relieve the stress that we can feel sometimes from how MS memory problems can reduce how well our memories can work.

Even if you have problems remembering what you are doing or what happened to you last week or what someone said to you recently, you still can remember something about yourself. You are still you.  That hasn't changed.

How do I know this, because I have been there too. I have battled with more severe MS memory problems off and on, since I was given the Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.  It is not easy when you could remember things before MS, but now you can not remember.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  I have a funny story that has to do with me and my good memory before MultipleSclerosis entered my life.
