Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Symptoms & Treatment - National Sleep Foundation. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys myelin, a membrane that covers axons in the brain and spinal cord.
Myelin serves both to protect axons and to speed the conduction of electrical impulses along nerve fibers. The destruction of myelin results in scarring and loss of nerve cells and can lead to a whole host of symptoms for MS patients, including paralysis, depression, loss of memory, fatigue and problems with vision, balance, bladder and bowel control.

Jo Johnson, Consultant Neuropsychologist, Storrington, West Sussex Leigh Johnson, Data Analyst, Bristol Way Ahead 2011;15(4):10-11 The National Service Framework (NSF) for long-term conditions1 and the NICE guidelines for MS2 recommend that people with MS and their families are provided with access to psychological support for themselves and their carers in a way that is consistent and easy to access.
MS is a disease that can present with well known physical problems as well as psychological and psychiatric symptoms. In addition the fact that an individual lives with a long-term condition can in itself cause psychological and psychiatric problems. Quality of life studies have shown that it is often the non physical symptoms of MS that are the most challenging to a person's sense of well-being, work and family life.

In order to meet needs we have set up a number of clinics that aim to make sure that our patients see the right person in the right place at the right time. Home - Shift.ms. Shrinking the smirch: a new book and online community to help people with MS think about their symptoms. Jo Johnson is a consultant neuropsychologist with a special interest in MS.
Here she explains the thinking behind her forthcoming book, Shrinking the smirch, and introduces a new Facebook group where people can share practical tips for living with long term conditions In 2008 I wrote a book called Shrinking the monster. The book encouraged people with MS to think about their symptoms as something external to them. There is evidence that this can be a useful way of taking a fresh look at troubling symptoms and managing the challenges long-term health conditions can create.
Some people do this naturally. This idea seemed to be a bit like marmite: some loved it and some hated it. Many people contacted me to say their MS was represented by something much less dominant or tangible than a monster. Shrinking the smirch will be published by Speechmark in March 2014. MS Trust - Information, education, research and support. Jo Johnson, consultant neuropsychologist Open Door - August 2008 pages 12-13 What is the monster?
'Shrinking the monster' is a technique I have been developing over the last year. The idea focuses on trying to imagine MS as something separate to you. Of course, we all know that this is not true. Where did the monster come from? Resources. The MS Society has a huge library of free resources covering everything important to people affected by MS.
