最近這三天晚上, 左腿似乎又開始不太安分起來, 開始強直性抽筋, 不知道是否是最近下肢力氣有點恢復的關係而 嘗試著使用自身力氣小步行走所致, 後來問了醫生, 知道這仍是屬於症狀的部分, 所以要增加要的劑量, 所以在睡前在癲通的劑量由半顆增為一顆試試, 若能有效改善, 則採用此一方式.
在這裡要針對急性類固醇治療後復建後所產生的抽筋, 肌肉緊繃, 或強直性抽筋(經孿)這些症狀 所代表的意義給一個參考註解 : 當以上的症狀程度嚴重到已經讓你覺得不舒服或影響到你的日常生活的時候, 那就不是所謂的(神經修復), 那是原本受損的神經所表現出來的現象. 若要紓緩這些症狀, 其中的方法就是用藥物來控制.
本網誌設立的目的在於提供MS多發性硬化症的相關醫療資訊,並且以一過來人的身分分享自己發病過程和對抗這個罕見疾病的經驗和心路歷程. 希望我的個人經驗能夠讓同樣遭受這種疾病的人獲得身體上或者是心理上的幫助,而這將是我最大的快樂!! 我更希望這種病不要發生在正常的人身上,希望能夠藉由我的網誌來換醒更多人對於健康的重視!!

後遺症---無法完全復原
從台大出院後, 醫師說到: 像我的下肢的一些問題屬於發炎之後的後遺症, 無法100%完全復原, 聽到這裡, 心就涼了一半.... 那麼就90%也好吧. 至少我能夠再爬樓梯~健行,
最近下肢的狀況力氣有恢復, 不知道是不是和吃素有關, 之前有病友建議 吃素, 看來似乎有效果, 繼續吃素吧!!
今天做了第一次的自我水療 復健, 水溫尚在可忍受範圍內, 在池旁有人會溫馨的詢問: 需要幫忙嗎? 溫情充滿!!!

行為能力(殘缺)量表 EDSS
最近閱讀了病友寄來的資料, 知道了以下所列的量表, 可以知道目前自己的行為能力有幾分, 也可以觀察在治療過程是否有進步, 依照我目前的狀況, 只有6.5分左右, 在3星期之前, 是比較好的4分.
所以目前狀況比較差

再度進入急診室
這個星期, 天天堅強著忍受著雙腿帶來的僵硬感覺, 和行動不便, 夜晚忍受著規律的間歇性潛在電流從腿內部深處流過~ 伴隨著間歇性不自主的抽蓄, 肌肉經鑾, 還有晚上至少起床4次的頻尿. 讓我的睡眠品質再度低到了一定的水準....(黑眼圈)
眼睛閉起來左耳就會出現嗡嗡聲...似乎是告訴自己 應該小心了.... 自動增加了類固醇的量, 由10mg/day增加到30mg/day 直到前天, 但是還是沒有明顯的改善. 再回顧之前我的長官寄給我的一本電子書"Managing_the_symptoms_of_multiple_sclerosis" 第4章---Spacticity 當中提到:
"Spasticity means stiffness. It often occurs when demyelination occurs in the nerves that regulate muscle tone. Because many of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord regulate movement and any ofthem may be affected by demyelination,"
以上就清楚的說明隨鞘質依然被攻擊當中.....(復發) 決定昨天的早上進入榮總急診室.
經過了和醫師討論的結果, 100mg類固醇和2mg類似Diazepam(Valium)(我建議)的Lorazepam注射.
因為Diazepam特別是針對夜晚肌肉經鑾的藥物, 也同時會幫助睡眠,有鎮定的效果. 應該能夠改善這種症狀, 幫助我回覆!!
果真有效, 之前問了並要求許多醫生開立鎮定安眠的藥, 他們都不開, 不知道是不敢開還是不願意(怕糾紛)
對於我們服用類固醇的人而言, 睡眠問題一直是副作用之一, 如何解決這個副作用讓神經好好的休息才是王道!! 不然類固醇服用得再多, 也只是枉然.....
最近一睡覺就會做夢或夜間盜汗, 就必須藉由類似Diazepam(Valium)的藥物來輔助
另外還有一種可以搭配Baclofen的藥物是Tizanidine(Zanaflex)也可以幫助達到類似的效果
