Understanding Multiple Sclerosis: A Journey of Care
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, leading to a range of neurological symptoms. These can include fatigue, mobility challenges, vision problems, and cognitive issues. At River’s Edge Specialty Pharmacy, we recognize the complexities of managing MS and are here to provide the support you need throughout your journey.
Your Partner in Managing Multiple Sclerosis
Living with MS can be daunting, but with the right treatment and support, it is possible to manage symptoms effectively and improve your quality of life. We are committed to being your partner in this journey, offering personalized treatment options tailored to your specific condition and needs.
Common Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
The symptoms of MS can vary widely from person to person and can change over time. Some people experience mild symptoms, while others may have more severe ones. Common symptoms include:
- Fatigue: One of the most common and debilitating symptoms of MS, fatigue can affect daily activities and overall quality of life.
- Numbness or Tingling: Many people with MS experience numbness or a “pins and needles” sensation, often in the face, arms, legs, or body.
- Muscle Weakness: MS can cause weakness, making it difficult to walk or perform tasks that require strength.
- Vision Problems: Blurred or double vision is often an early sign of MS. Some people may experience vision loss.
- Difficulty Walking or Balance Issues: MS can affect coordination and balance, increasing the risk of falls.
- Spasticity: This refers to muscle stiffness or involuntary muscle spasms, often in the legs.
- Cognitive Changes: Some individuals may experience difficulties with memory, attention, and problem-solving.
Bladder and Bowel Problems: MS can cause issues with bladder control or bowel function.
Symptoms may come and go, and some people experience long periods of remission, where they have few or no symptoms. For others, symptoms may be more persistent or progressive.
Available Treatments for Multiple Sclerosis
Treatments for MS are typically focused on managing symptoms, reducing flare-ups, and modifying the course of the disease. Options may include:
- Disease-Modifying Therapies (DMTs): These medications aim to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks and slow disease progression. Choices include injectable, oral, and infusion therapies.
- Symptomatic Treatments: A variety of medications may be prescribed to address specific symptoms, such as pain relief, muscle spasms, and fatigue management.
- Rehabilitation Services: Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitation approaches are essential to help maintain mobility and independence.
Medications
River’s Edge Specialty Pharmacy uses a range of medications for Multiple Sclerosis, including:
- OCREVUS
- TYSABRI, Natalizumab (Rx)
- Briumvi, Ublituximab (Rx)
- Cortrophin
