Rapid Deterioration of Physical and Mental health

[sahargq]

Hi all,

My mom was diagnosed with MS back in 1997. Her condition had been deteriorating slowly all these years. But since the last two months the pace of deterioration has been rapid. Her new symptoms include:

- speech slurriness

- increase tremor in hands and shaky head and legs

- poor mental receptiveness

- increased drowsiness

- bladder and bowel issues

- constriction of oesophagus

- poor balance

- no energy

- hearing loss

Does anyone have advice of what to do in this situation? Any treatments? Similar experiences? Any sort of assistance would help. Thanks.

So sorry to hear of the symptoms that you mother is now experiencing. Any onset of new or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by her neurologist.

The doctor would be able to determine the best course of action to treat individual symptoms.

This may mean a referral to other specialists, for example, an ENT, Urologist etc.

Good luck and I hope she sees some relief very soon.
