Multiple Sclerosis and the Spinal Tap
Your brain and spinal cord are bathed in spinal fluid. A spinal tap, also called a lumbar puncture, is a procedure that removes and tests some of this fluid to help diagnose disorders of the brain and spinal cord, including multiple sclerosis.
Signs of Multiple Sclerosis Relapse
What Happens During a Relapse?
When you experience a multiple sclerosis relapse (also known as an exacerbation or flare-up), it's because new damage in your brain or spinal cord disrupts nerve signals. That's why you might notice new symptoms or the return of old symptoms. A true relapse lasts more than 24 hours and happens at least 30 days after any previous relapses. Relapses vary in length, severity, and symptoms. Over time, your symptoms should improve. Many people recover from their relapses without treatment.Early Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

Talking to Your Family About Multiple Sclerosis
A chronic and unpredictable disease such as multiple
sclerosis has a significant impact not only on you but also on your
loved ones. You are not the only one who suffers. Your partner and
children must also cope with the disease and the changes it may bring.
Understanding the Different Types of Multiple Sclerosis
In some ways, each person with multiple sclerosis lives with a different illness. Although nerve damage is always involved, the pattern is unique for each individual with MS.
Recognizing Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
People with multiple sclerosis (MS) tend to have their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. Usually the symptoms get better, but then come back. Some may come and go, while others linger.
Babies' Birth Month May Affect MS Risk: Study
A newborn's immune system development, vitamin D levels and risk for multiple sclerosis may be influenced by the month of birth, new research suggests. A study conducted in London found that babies born in May have significantly lower levels of vitamin D and a potentially greater risk for developing MS than babies born in November.
Salty Diet May Help Trigger Multiple Sclerosis, RA
Eating lots of foods loaded with salt may do more than raise your blood pressure: Researchers report that it could also contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases, where the body's immune system mistakenly mounts an attack upon some part of the body.
Chemicals in marijuana 'protect nervous system' against MS
Chemical compounds found in marijuana can help treat multiple sclerosis-like diseases in mice by preventing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, according to a study reported in the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology.

8 Ways to Live Better With MS
Managing your life with MS isn't just about dealing with the symptoms you have right now. It's about thinking through what could happen in future -- the possible effects on your job, family, and finances -- and preparing for them.
BrainStorm to Initiate Study for Multiple Sclerosis at Hadassah Medical Center
BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics (otcqb:BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that it will initiate a pre-clinical study for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) at the Hebrew University Hadassah Medical Center's SPF-grade animal laboratory in Jerusalem. The study was approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of the Hebrew University.
Statins and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults With Normal Cognition or Mild Cognitive Impairment
Elderly adults with normal cognition at baseline who used statins had a slower rate of annual worsening in CDR-SOB than nonusers.
Multiple Sclerosis and Bladder Control Problems
Bladder control problems occur in at least 80% of people with multiple sclerosis. Because MS interrupts or slows the transmission of signals to and from the brain, the electrical impulses to the muscles that are involved in emptying the bladder can become disrupted.
Adapting Your Home for Multiple Sclerosis
Because daily activities -- including leisure activities -- can cause fatigue more quickly in people with multiple sclerosis, it's important to modify your activity levels. And, because MS can make moving around difficult, making certain changes to your home environment may help conserve energy and increase independence.

Researchers have developed and are testing a promising new imaging technique that could eventually help diagnose and monitor treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
A New Zealand biotechnology firm says a capital injection from the United States will allow the company to move on to the next stage of trials of a potentially life-changing multiple sclerosis drug.
The latest study with core subject of major linking between venous
narrowing multiple sclerosis was conducted at University of British
Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health and published in journal The
Lancet. The researchers were quite keen to find out whether the
narrowing of the veins from the brain to the heart can be the reason
after multiple sclerosis. Through this study they found that such
condition is quite common in the people without the disease. They used
techniques including ultrasound and catheter venography to examine their
point properly.
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have identified a
set of compounds that may be used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) in a
new way. Unlike existing MS therapies that suppress the immune system,
the compounds boost a population of progenitor cells that can in turn
repair MS-damaged nerve fibers.
Multiple Sclerosis 101: Drug Treatments
A number of drugs have been shown to slow the progression of MS in some people. These are called the disease-modifying drugs. They include:
- Aubagio (teriflumonide)
- Avonex (interferon beta-1a)
- Betaseron (interferon beta-1b)
- Copaxone (glatiramer acetate)
- Gilenya (fingolimod)
- Novantrone (mitoxantrone)
- Rebif (interferon beta-1a)
- Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate)
- Tysabri (natalizumab)
