How does MS work on the human system?
My father n law claims he has MS he was suposedly diagnosed next to it about 10-12 years ago. Be just retired from his job, which be rather physical ( worked at a prison) he is 65 years old. Only walks next to a cane (sometimes). He tells my husband that he falls all the time. He never falls when be around or even comes close to it. He will be out at the stores and we will see him out and he will be walking perfectly fine but as soon as he sees us he gets this loose going. I dont want to appear mean an uncaring but How does MS effect the body? He recently go to the doctors for an anual exam and the doctor was shocked to learn(thru my father n law) that he had MS and was diagnosed beside it that long ago. So he did other tests to basically see what is going on but father n law states yep he still have it but it has stopped growing?

Multiple sclerosis is so named because there are more than one nouns of scarring in the white matter of the brain. How it affects an individual depends entirely on where those lesion are in that individual.
Many cases of MS can be rather indolent, but the symptoms you describe are classic for MS. They have remissions and exacerbations of the symptoms, as a result the problems they have wax and wane.
My mother falls a lot, we never see her fall, and she sometimes tries to hoard the injuries from us, and will purposefully not tell us about a fall, unless we find out some other style.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a gradual debilitating disease, and so far there is no cure. He would have have to go through extensive tests to find out if he had MS. From what I remember, from my physiology class, is that the myelin sheath that protects the nerves (basically) get broken down, so that the nerves are exposed and begin to deteriorate. Its symptoms can come and go, but if he has it he will eventually not be capable of move. People can have it and not know it for a long time. Below is a web site that can tell you more. Good luck!
