The process of being diagnosed can be a long one, and I have never heard that just looking at someone will seal the diagnosis.
In addition, MS could be affecting one part of the body, but not another. If the hands are not affected, then you can type.
Also, MS patients generally live a normal life expectancy, so don't worry on that account.
I hope you don't have it!  |
thanks for the suggestion. my information on Multiple Sclerosis doesnt come from the internet. it comes directly from my treatment providers, you see I have MS...
one thing about the internet... dont believe everything you find on the internet. for one thing it doesnt take into consideration when the various countries / nations and such go through changes in things like what they define as a disease/ disorder. for example america recently went through what is called health care reform/ obama care and changes in the mental health system, mental health definitions/ diagnostics...
what that means is much of what you find ....on the internet... in relation to american standards for many mental and physical health problems is going to be inaccurate, misleading and out dated. to get the accurate and up to date information now its best to go through a persons own treatment providers, which I do.
but again thanks for the suggestion.
