Multiple sclerosis, an enemy that continues to grow

Numbers can often help to immediately understand the center of an issue, and so let us start precisely with some simple figures: 3 million people in the world suffer from multiple sclerosis and about one million in Europe alone: of these, 120million live in Germany, almost 110 thousand in the United Kingdom and as many as 75 thousand in our country, with on average a new diagnosis every four hours.

A particularly dark-colored picture, especially if we add that this disease is potentially disabling and that, at present, there is no real cure.

One Disease, Many Sympoms. The same AISM explains that no one case of multiple sclerosis looks exactly like another, and that even the clinical course can change even in the individual patient. Thus, there is a very wide range of sympoms that May Arouse Suspicion of the onset of the Disease; The Most Common are visual disturbances (Generally, The One That First Surfaces in About One in Five Cases of Diagnosis) Such As Blurring, Blindness Color, Uncontrollable Eye Movements or Splitting; Numbness or tingling in the Limbs; Difficulty in Coordination of Movements; Fatigue and a Sense of Exhaust; Insensitivity to touch, Cold Or Heat; Onset of Cognitive Impairement and Language Difficulties.
