Personal Narrative: My Father With Multiple Sclerosis

1511 Words4 Pages

Years ago, my husband was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. We had known something was going on for a while, but we believed that maybe it was just something small that could be easily fixed. So, when we were sitting in the doctor's office and the doctor came in and told us that the MRI was the final confirmation of my husband having MS, we were both shocked. I've had a lot of bad news in my life, but that one was very hard. I felt guilty, sad, anxious, worried, and depressed, and, I couldn't pull myself out of it for weeks. Then I listened to Dissolve Worry & Anxiety from Hypnosis Live and I instantly felt better. It helped me calm down and shook something in my brain so I could get unstuck from the negative loop I was in. Hypnosis Live …show more content…

There is a story around that time about an old man on his death bed giving his family advice, and it helped me see that my worst fears probably wouldn't come true in regards to my husband. From that point, I was able to listen to the hypnosis session with a wide open mind and allow some new thoughts and beliefs come into my mind. And, at the end of it, I felt more hopeful and alive. It was the biggest relief I've ever felt, which is why I have since always recommend Hypnosis Live to people who want to change their mind to something more positive and feel good.

This disease causes destruction of the myelin around the nerve fibers. “The exact etiology of Multiple Sclerosis is unknown; however, it is thought to be an immune mediated disease. MS is characterized by CNS inflammation, demyelination, and axonal loss” (Compston & Coles, 2008). Typically, it is described by early relapses and remissions of neurological signs of the CNS. This is known as relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). MS can be identified by a variety of known risk factors. Multiple Sclerosis can be brought on by a mixture of inherited and environmental risk factors such as smoking or an exposure to a virus like Epstein Barr.

  • Reflection Of The Mindless Monster

    Individuals retain preconceived beliefs about individuals, places, or objects based on their experiences. By going into an experience, with preconceived beliefs, we prevent acknowledgement and acceptance of reality. For example, individuals tend to avoid foods that those around them do not like, as they perceive the food to taste awful, despite their own experience. While these preconceived beliefs do help alter our perspective, they should not dictate it. We must accept these beliefs, but still be willing to change our perspective as the experience arises. No two individuals retain identical likes, beliefs, and values; every individual should live through their experiences, rather than living with another individual’s

    Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. It is understood as an autoimmune disease, a condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks normal tissues. In Multiple Sclerosis, the patient’s own cells & antibodies attack the fatty myelin sheath that protects and insulates nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord, the two components of the CNS. This ultimately causes damage to the nerve cells and without the insulation the myelin sheath provides, nerve communication is disrupted. Hence, Multiple Sclerosis is characterized by symptoms that reflect central nervous system involvement (Luzzio, 2014).
