Understanding Motor Neurone Disease
Introduction:
I am Motor Neurone Disease, often simply called MND, but you might also know me by names like progressive muscular atrophy, progressive bulbar palsy, primary lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Who am I?
You probably want to know if I’m affecting you. MND typically appears between the ages of 40 and 70, with the average being around 55. However, I can strike anyone, from 18 to over 100. My defining feature is the progressive loss of voluntary muscle function due to the destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Initially, my symptoms might be subtle, but eventually, I cause significant physical disabilities.
How am I identified?
Medical professionals can spot signs of damage in the upper motor neurons. These include spasticity, exaggerated reflexes, and Babinski signs. I can also affect the lower neurons, leading to challenges such as difficulty swallowing, breathing, coughing, and speaking.
What should you do?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to see your doctor promptly. A proper diagnosis will guide you on how best to manage and live with MND.
In conclusion, awareness and early consultation with healthcare providers can make a significant difference in dealing with Motor Neurone Disease.
