At Bridgewater Home Care we understand just how much of an impact Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can have on an individual’s life, and for those around them.
It may be completely overwhelming to come to terms with such news and although there is currently no cure for MS, there are a number of treatments which can help to control it whilst continuing to live well. It is essential the right help and support is in place in order to help cope with the symptoms and effects of the condition.
Multiple sclerosis affects the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movements, sensation, or balance. It is a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.
The main symptoms include:
• Fatigue
• Difficulty walking
• Vision problems, such as blurred vision
• Problems controlling the bladder
• Numbness or tingling in different parts of the body
• Muscle stiffness and spasms
• Problems with balance and co-ordination
• Problems with thinking, learning and planning
Being diagnosed with MS can have huge impacts on an individual’s life, which can feel lonely and isolating at first. At Bridgewater Home Care we provide a support network that is there for both the individual and their family members. We are a provider that you can rely on and trust to be there for you through difficult times.
