My MS Diagnosis

So I’m approaching the 2 year mark since my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and I thought I’d better document how I got here, because being the patient is a weird experience, especially for a condition that had kind of vague symptoms that needed a fair amount of work up.

My symptoms actually started in early 2020, when I was in the third trimester of pregnancy. The main symptom was mistaken for carpal tunnel syndrome - numbness in my fingers that would progress to increasingly violent pins & needles sensations, that would progress to burning if I tried to push through it. Only this sensation would extend all the way up to my shoulders at times. I stopped performing surgery, because not only was I unsatisfied with my lack of sensation to know what I was doing with my tissue handling, but the pain would get worse quickly in constrictive surgical gloves in the presence of patient warming. So I stopped performing surgery in late pregnancy and was told it would get better a few months after giving birth.

It did not.

So six months after giving birth, finding myself able to use my hands for short periods but still unable to perform surgery to my standard, I went back to complain to the doctor. I also couldn’t play video games properly, my arms would often be numb when I woke up, all the way up to my shoulder, and they were super temperature sensitive. Even hot water from washing dishes would set them off.

They sent me down a carpal tunnel work up - ultrasounds and talking to a neurologist. The short version is they did tell me I had mild carpal tunnel… on one side only.

Which did not make any damn sense considering I had symptoms on both sides all the way up to my shoulder.

The worst neurologist in the world could not explain to me why a mild problem on one wrist was affecting sensation all the way up to the opposite shoulder, and just said ‘it happens sometimes’. Now, I like to think I have a solid understanding of the basics of how a body works, and was really unsatisfied with this answer. They recommended I talk to a surgeon, since I’d already been doing a bunch of physiotherapy, but I decided not to. Surgery could have put my hand in a cast for up to 6 weeks, I had a 6 month old baby to care for at home and a partner who was useless at best, and abusive at worst. I could not afford the time in a cast.

So I went to try something else, visiting an osteopath to see what they could do about my ‘mild’ carpal tunnel, and while I’m there, these headaches I’ve been getting.

She spent a good long while stretching out different muscle groups, and found that certain neck muscle stretches changed the sensations I was getting in my fingertips. So whatever was causing the hand problem was coming from somewhere in the neck, and she recommended I get a CT scan.

Went back to my doctor to get a referral for a CT scan, and explained what was going on. He thought about it for a minute, didn’t voice his concerns, and upgraded it to a neck MRI.

That MRI found a demyelinating lesion in my neck. So went back for a full Central Nervous System scan and found a couple more borderline ones.

That sent me back to a (different) neurologist, had a proper neurological exam that found a few random patches of altered skin sensation in addition to the arm weirdness I had going on. So I was probably a MS case, but not particularly severe as MS goes.

To confirm it I needed a lumbar puncture to look for oligoclonal bands in by CSF. The lumbar puncture was a moderately unpleasant experience which then mandated that I remain lying down for 24 hours so that my spinal fluid didn’t spring a leak. With a baby and a distinctly unhelpful partner, I barely made it to that 24 hours.

And then… I sprung a CSF leak. Which is a jolly weird experience I can tell you.

When your CSF leaks from a lumbar puncture you will feel perfectly fine… when you are lying flat on your back, because your spine flops over the hole and plugs the leak. If you’re upright at all the spine flops away from the hole and it slowly leaks out, and you get more of this weird frontal headache that gets worse the longer you’re upright, standing there talking to the ER admissions nurse. And the info I had explained that it can progress to seizures and similar the worse it gets, but I only got as far as pain and fuzzy vision. I seriously could only be upright for ten minutes without pain, and had to lie down to resolve it.

That required some medicine-that-looks-like-magic to fix, called a blood patch. Doctors took some of my blood, fresh out of the vein, and inserted it into my spine approximately where the leak should be, so that the clot would cover the leaky patch. Self blood magic. It worked brilliantly, about an hour later.

The CSF tap ordeal confirmed the presence of the oligoclonal bands, and then I got stunted into the public health system, in a department specifically geared towards managing Multiple Sclerosis patients. They debated for a little while, at a multidisciplinary meeting, whether I was really MS or a Clinically Isolated Syndrome (which is like Multiple Sclerosis but without the ‘Multiple’ part), but settled on MS. Yes, Tumblr, I was nearly diagnosed with CIS.

The shoe thing took about a year from when I actively complained to doctors, or about 18 months from the first probable symptoms. That’s approximate because some things that were thought to be pregnancy symptoms could have been due to MS, like fatigue and leg weakness. I’m pretty lucky that I’m comfortable in hospitals and with medical procedures, am reasonably medically literate. I think the magic phrase that got things to happen quickly was ‘these symptoms are greatly affecting my ability to do my job’.

I don’t think my MS has progressed since starting the medication (and I’ll talk about the medication in another post). I’ve acquired one additional brain lesion since diagnosis, but I have no clue what physical symptom it’s associated with.

While some symptoms are better, I still cannot perform surgery to the standard or with the endurance that I used to,so I basically don’t any more. I can do about ten minutes, which is enough to bail a new graduate vet out of trouble, but not enough to take over completely for them. I’ve had a few years to think about it but I don’t know what the MS is going to do to my career, only that I can still practice for now.

It’s not great, but it could be a whole lot worse, and that’s how I got here.

Physiotherapy in AS Rao Nagar

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of physical impairments, disabilities, and pain. It aims to restore movement and function in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to help patients recover, improve their physical abilities, and enhance their quality of life.

Physiotherapy can include:

Exercises

Massages

Treatments based on physical stimuli, such as heat, cold, electrical currents, or ultrasound

Assistive devices

Patient education and training 

Physiotherapists usually recommend movement and exercise to help improve your mobility and function. This may include:

exercises designed to improve movement and strength in a specific part of the body – these usually need to be repeated regularly for a set length of time

activities that involve moving your whole body, such as walking or swimming – these can help if you're recovering from an operation or injury that affects your mobility

exercises carried out in warm, shallow water (hydrotherapy or aquatic therapy) – the water can help relax and support the muscles and joints, while providing resistance to help you gradually get stronger

advice and exercises to help you increase or maintain your physical activity – advice will be given on the importance of keeping active, and how to do this in a safe, effective way

advice on using mobility aids – such as crutches or a walking stick to help you move around

Your physiotherapist may also recommend exercises that you can continue doing to help you manage pain in the long term or reduce your risk of injuring yourself again.

Types of Therapy in Physiotherapy:

Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to manipulate muscles and joints, aiming to relieve pain and improve mobility.

Exercise Therapy: Customized exercise programs designed to strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and promote overall physical fitness.

Electrotherapy: Use of electrical modalities, such as TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and ultrasound, to manage pain and stimulate healing.

Heat and Cold Therapy: Application of heat or cold to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Advanced high-power laser therapy: It is a medical treatment that uses focused light energy to promote healing and relieve pain.

Dry Needling: Involves inserting thin needles into trigger points in muscles to relieve pain and tension.

Acupuncture: Sometimes incorporated for pain management and to promote healing.

Education and Counseling: Teaching patients about their condition, self-management strategies, and injury prevention techniques.

Pediatric Physiotherapy: Specialized therapy for children to address developmental, neurological, or orthopedic issues.

Cupping therapy: It is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This suction can help improve blood flow, relieve pain, and promote healing.

Interferential therapy: It is a type of electrotherapy that is used to relieve pain and promote healing skin.

Is Autism a disability? Autism is neither a disability nor a disorder.

Welcome to Lalan Autism Clinic in #Ranchi. Remember, progress is a symphony of small victories. At Lalan Autism Clinic, we celebrate each step forward, knowing that it unlocks a world of possibilities. 🌈🌟

It is, rather, a developmental pathway followed by a small percentage of people whose neurological structure tends towards different patterns from that of the majority of the population.

For those of us on that pathway we are developing according to the way our genetics, epigenetics and environments determine we should - just as all other people do but clearly differently from those of the majority phenotype.

We may be disabled in the sense that our differences make living in a world designed for the majority somewhat difficult for most of us - we do have specific difficulties with things such as anxiety, sensory sensitivities and communication differences that can be extremely disabling and some of us are much more disabled than others, particularly those who have co-occurring conditions such as intellectual disability.

Intellectual disability is a problem for both autistic and non-autistic people and tends to heighten difficulties and increase the level of disability someone experiences significantly.

We are practicing these services to create a supportive and inclusive environment, helping children with autism thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Title: Diagnosis and management of functional neurological disorder

Date: January 2022 Published in: The BMJ Publicly available? It is now.

FND: functional neurological disorder

ICD: International Classification of Diseases

Article Summary

Abstract

Introduction

Historical background:

Describes historical context and explains the current state of research around FND

Nosological classification:

FND is classified as 'conversion disorder/functional neurological symptom disorder' in the DMS-5 and as 'dissociative neurological symptom disorder' in the ICD. The variability in classification causes problems.

Aims of this review:

To highlight relevant literature that express the importance of multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to the care of FND patients

To present evidence to healthcare professionals that will allow them to better diagnose and treat FND patients

Incidence and prevalence of FND

FND is a frequent and disabling condition affecting young people and it often has a poor prognosis. This section also presents specific numbers for the prevalence of different subtypes of FND.

Sources and selection criteria:

Details how the studies were found and selected for the review.

Diagnosis of FND

Criterion A from the DSM-5 requires 'one or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function'. Patients can be divided into two broad categories: negative symptoms (lack of movement, weakness) or positive symptoms (abnormal movement such as tremor, jerks, dystonia, etc). Symptoms can also resemble epileptic seizures.

Criterion B from the DSM-5 requires that 'clinical findings provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognized neurological or medical conditions'. A rule-in diagnosis can be made by evaluating postive signs that distinguish FND from other medical conditions.

Highlights the importance of explaining how the diagnosis was reached.

Highlights the signs of motor FND, and seizure type FND that a healthcare professional should look for to make a diagnosis

Criterion C from the DSM-5 requires that 'the symptom or deficit is not better explained by another medical or mental (health) disorder.' Highlights that a patient can have FND and a comorbid neurological condition. Suggests further testing that can be done to clarify a diagnosis.

Criterion D from the DSM-5 requires that 'the symptom or deficit causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation.' States that the fact that a patient is seeking medical attention shows that the symptoms have a significant impact on daily activities.

Explains the impact symptoms tend to have on quality of life.

Provides recommendations for what language to use and not to use to avoid stigmatising the condition and making a patient feel invalidated.

Treatments

Treatment is extremely variable and should be individualised.

Research is limited but communicating the diagnosis appears to show some reduction in emergency room visits and inpatient hospitalisations for seizure type FND

Psychoeducation can have a positive effect but does not positively affect recovery without other treatment options

Physiotherapy is a first line treatment but more research is needed to optimise and personalise its use. Recent advancements are detailed.

Psychotherapy: The use of CBT (on its own and in combination with other treatments) continues to be examined and shows mixed results.

Psychopharmacology: SSRI and SNRI medications can be used to treat concurrent mental health symptoms but not directly to treat FND.

Emerging treatments

Psychotherapy treatments being evaluated include mindfulness based therapy, prolonged exposure, psychodynamic psychotherapy, group psychotherapy (including dialectical behavioural therapy), and hypnosis.

Other treatments being explored are the use of botulinum neurotoxin to manage motor symptoms, transcranial megnetic stimulation, therapeutic sedation, placebo, and other management strategies.

Mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc.) and non-motor phsyical symptoms (pain, fatigue, dizziness, cognitive symptoms, etc.) often co-occur with FND and can increase the severity of FND symptoms

example #7375 of the tories wrecking the nhs

so. i have covid; ive had two positive tests and the covid monitoring centre is sending me a pulsometer so i can send daily results. theyve called me every day since i reported it.

i also have my first physiotherapy appointment with rheumatology in three days... that i cant really afford to miss.

because if i ask for a rearrangement, its registered on the system as me "refusing to attend the appointment" making it much harder for me to actually get appointments. and having various chronic illnesses (including one that can be fatal if unmonitored and untreated), i very much need regular appointments.

its taken me like four years to get this appointment and the closest rearrangement is six months away.

plus, ive already had to rearrange one this year because i was bedridden with covid last week. and even though the condition the appointment for should be monitored every three months at least to avoid blindness or death, and that one is now two months away.

which means i already have one mark against me, claiming me to be non-compliant. i cant exactly afford another rearrangement since it comes with another negative mark in the system.

so my best option, personally, is to attend the appointment even though i have covid and it is registered on the system that i have covid and covid is an infectious disease.

youd think that factor might make it so that i cannot attend automatically. that would make sense, right?

yeah no. when we called up, the nurse said "as long as you feel up to attending, youll be fine."

its insane, just fucking ludicrous.

the system under tories has literally put me into a fucking trolley problem where my options are:

attend the appointment but risk infecting who knows how many people

OR

miss the appointment and subsequently be marked as a patient who doesnt bother attending appointments and hence, be offered less appointments if any, hence risking blindness or death if im unable to get regular appointments for my neurological disorder that needs regular monitoring to avoid blindness or death

the tories' version of the nhs is literally punishing me for getting ill.

its unacceptable to miss an appointment for any reason, and uh, you know whos more likely to miss an appointment? the disabled and the poor.

the system is blatantly designed to trip up those the tories find undesirable and burdensome; they dont even bother hiding it because a lot of people either agree with them and their bigotry, or they just cant be bothered to care for the disabled and/or the poor.

im sure i could come to some coherent conclusion here, but im honestly just too fucking tired to do that.

fuck tories.

**Epilepsy and the Role of Hemispherectomy**

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, which are sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain. While epilepsy can affect people of all ages, it is most common in children and young adults. In some cases, epilepsy can be effectively managed with medication, but for others, the seizures may be too severe or unresponsive to medication. For these individuals, surgery may be an option to control seizures.

One type of surgery that is sometimes used to treat severe epilepsy is a hemispherectomy. A hemispherectomy is a radical procedure that involves removing or disconnecting half of the brain. This is a major surgery, but it can be very effective in controlling seizures in carefully selected patients.

**Who is a candidate for a hemispherectomy?**

A hemispherectomy is typically considered for children who have severe epilepsy that is affecting only one hemisphere of the brain. The seizures may be severe enough to cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and other disabilities.

Some of the conditions that may lead to a hemispherectomy include:

* **Hemimegalencephaly:** This is a rare condition in which one hemisphere of the brain is significantly larger than the other.

* **Sturge-Weber syndrome:** This is a syndrome that causes seizures, skin lesions, and eye problems.

* **Rasmussen's encephalitis:** This is a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the brain.

**How does a hemispherectomy work?**

The specific procedure of a hemispherectomy will vary depending on the patient's individual needs. However, the general steps are as follows:

* The surgeon will make an incision in the scalp and remove a piece of bone from the skull.

* The surgeon will then carefully remove or disconnect the diseased hemisphere of the brain.

* The surgeon will close the incision and the patient will be taken to the recovery room.

**What are the risks of a hemispherectomy?**

As with any major surgery, there are risks associated with a hemispherectomy. These risks include:

* Infection

* Bleeding

* Blood clots

* Damage to healthy brain tissue

* Learning difficulties

* Speech and language problems

* Motor problems

**What is the outcome of a hemispherectomy?**

The outcome of a hemispherectomy can vary depending on the patient's individual circumstances. However, in general, a hemispherectomy can be very effective in controlling seizures. Studies have shown that up to 80% of patients who undergo a hemispherectomy will experience complete seizure freedom.

**What is life after a hemispherectomy like?**

Patients who undergo a hemispherectomy will need to undergo rehabilitation to learn to cope with any new challenges they may face. This may include physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.

Despite the challenges, most patients who undergo a hemispherectomy go on to live fulfilling lives. They may experience some learning difficulties or motor problems, but they can still attend school, work, and participate in activities that they enjoy.

**Conclusion**

Epilepsy is a complex disorder that can have a significant impact on people's lives. While there is no cure, there are effective treatments available, including medication and surgery. A hemispherectomy is a major decision, but it can be a life-changing procedure for those with severe epilepsy.

My experience with:

In June 21st, 2018; I had my last seizure(day of my surgery). So after my surgery to this day I've yet to have a seizure(Nov 8 2023). Except, as previously stated; there can be some"after effects". To put it shortly I was left with "stroke-like side effects"meaning that I do have reduced motor abilities or low ROM (range of motion) sight problems and strength loss. Luckily, I do have more confidence, liberty, "authority" and responsibilities.

Disclaimer: for everyone's unique case it might be different because I have Rasmussen's encephalitis

The Role of Physiotherapy in TMJ Disorder

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. While there are various treatment options available, physiotherapy has emerged as a valuable approach to managing TMJ disorders. In Pune, individuals dealing with TMJ issues can find relief and support from qualified physiotherapists who specialize in treating this condition.

Understanding TMJ Disorder:

TMJ disorder refers to a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. Symptoms may include jaw pain, difficulty chewing or opening the mouth, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and facial discomfort. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing these symptoms by focusing on pain reduction, improving jaw function, and promoting overall well-being.

The Role of Physiotherapy:

Physiotherapy offers a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating TMJ disorder. A physiotherapist in Pune will begin by conducting a comprehensive evaluation to understand the underlying causes and assess the severity of your condition. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Treatment Techniques:

Physiotherapy for TMJ disorder utilizes various techniques that aim to reduce pain, improve jaw mobility, and restore normal function. These may include:

1. Jaw exercises: The physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles around the jaw joint, promoting improved jaw movement and reducing muscle tension.

2. Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, can help increase joint mobility, alleviate pain, and release muscle tension.

3. Heat or cold therapy: The application of heat or cold packs to the jaw area can reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm.

4. Ultrasound therapy: Ultrasound waves can penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing, improving blood flow, and reducing pain and inflammation.

5. Electrical stimulation: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) involves the use of low-level electrical currents to relieve pain and relax muscles.

6. Posture correction: Correcting poor posture can alleviate strain on the jaw joint. Physiotherapists in Pune can provide guidance on proper head and neck alignment and ergonomic modifications.

7. Education and self-care: Physiotherapists will educate you about proper jaw mechanics, relaxation techniques, and self-care strategies, empowering you to manage your TMJ symptoms effectively.

Finding Relief:

If you're experiencing TMJ disorder, seeking the expertise of a qualified physiotherapist is essential. Look for physiotherapy clinics or practitioners who specialize in TMJ disorders. They will have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, helping you find relief and regain a pain-free quality of life.

# for context around FND by the way # its a condition long known about # but only recently really recognised as an actual condition # for a long time sufferers were just accused of making it up # and then common belief became that it was a psycosomatic reaction to childhood trauma and often specifically sexual trauma # and its only recently been taken seriously as a condition in of itself # and by recently i mean i was diagnosed in 2022 and i was signposted to an app and was referred for one session with a neuro-psychiatrist # the charity FNDAction adgocates for collaborative care with things like neurology and neuro-physiotherapy that should be managed by a # consistent primary health provider # and again i was signposted to an app and given one session of neuro-psychiatry # and i have since been left on my own to manage symptoms like disassociative seizures and episodes of paralysis and nerve spasms etc. # when we say previously known as hysteria it means some neurologists still consider it to mostly be hysteria # meanwhile im here planning around the chance that one of my limbs will randomly paralyse itself # which is a daily occurrence # anytime i see mention of functional neurological disorder i feel the need to give context # because a lot of us deal with what would be terrifying symptoms if we didnt deal with them daily and are given no support whatsoever # my only support is nerve painkillers i was prescribed before i was diagnosed after having to ask to be referred to neurology three times
