People with relapsing remitting MS who only have a small number of relapses, followed by a complete recovery, may be described as having benign MS.
Overview of Stem Cell Treatment
Stem cell therapy, specifically haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), is a medical procedure being explored as a potential treatment for MS. This therapy aims to reset the immune system, which plays a critical role in the development of active inflammation and progression of MS. It has been investigated for other autoimmune diseases, such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and stiff person syndrome. HSCT offers the possibility of halting disease activity and, in some cases, even reversing some symptoms, making it a topic of growing interest among clinicians and people living with MS.
As part of our A to Z of MS series, Emma takes us to the letter M. For her, M is for Mental Load — that invisible weight of lists, chores, and responsibilities that never seems to clock off, especially when MS is part of the mix.
Living with MS has its challenges, to say the least. One of those difficulties – one that isn’t talked about much – is our susceptibility to other conditions and diseases because of MS.
On this month’s Unspeakable Bits webinar, join our host Trevis L Gleason and guest Professor Hugh Kearney of University College Dublin for a discussion on "MS And...".
They explore what some of these potential coexisting conditions might be, what to do if you’re living with one, and how you might lower the risk or manage them better in day-to-day life.
