Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, recurring, debilitating autoimmune disease. In MS, you lose the outer protective covering (myelin) of nerves (similar to the outside layer of wires). Unfortunately, once you lose the myelin surrounding your nerves, you are unable to regenerate it!
Although there are four main types of MS and there are medications for each of the types that you can receive as part of your MS treatment, maintaining your physical function is the aim of the rehab game!
On your team for the rehab game are physios, occupational therapists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists and rehab specialists. You are the team captain and the team’s goal is to keep your interests at heart and work through your symptoms that affect your speech, mood, disorders and day-to-day activities.
