About Multiple Sclerosis – Part Two
Due to the fact that almost everybody with MS has a steady progression of their condition even if they don’t have obvious attacks, the term benign MS appears to be a misnomer. A very few patients may turn out to have had a clinical attack and then did not move to progression, but most get worse steadily with time. A realistic assessment should be made so that the patient, relatives and doctors all understand what is likely to happen and what treatments are appropriate. Tiredness is a common finding amongst MS sufferers, either physical or mental, and is separate from tiredness secondary to poor sleep or excessive exertion in the attempt to be independent.
