Hi,
It is difficult to deal with all the health issue you are facing and not be depressed, that shows your resilience and positive attitude. Even though we have various treatment options like
steroids,
monoclonal antibodies and
interferon for MS, the remission and full recovery can vary for each case.
The eyesight is effected in MS due to direct involvement of nerves that supply eye. Few essential factors can help you live better despite the disease like blood pressure medications should be taken regularly, avoid physical
stress like hot bath or strenuous exercise which can worse symptoms and taking medication for MS regularly can decrease relapses.
Apart from the regular prescribed medication you can add vitamin D supplement to your daily routine or minimum 10 minutes of exposure to sunlight before noon can help your body produce vitamin D needed everyday.
Studies have shown that vitamin D may help improve symptoms and also prevents MS. In addition, low impact physical activity like doing simple
yoga postures, water
aerobics, slow in place march, and regular
meditation will not just help with movement coordination and weight gain, but also improve your mood.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
