What Does Multiple Sclerosis Do to Daily Life?
Multiple sclerosis impacts the central nervous system in such a way that it interferes with the communication between the brain and other parts of the body. For this reason, the symptoms exhibited can vary widely from one patient to another.
In Little Rock, fatigue can be among the most difficult symptoms that those who suffer from MS have to cope with. It is not only exhaustion from having spent too much time doing things. Fatigue resulting from MS can strike suddenly and make simple activities extremely difficult. Putting on clothes, having breakfast, showering, and walking around the house can drain all of one’s energy for the day just to start it.
Weakness and balance problems- MS can affect muscle strength, coordination, and balance, which can make everyday movement more difficult. Stairs, getting in and out of the shower, carrying items, or moving around the home may require more time or support than before.
Memory and thinking difficulties – Some people with MS experience have difficulty focusing, remembering details, or keeping track of daily routines. That can make it harder to manage appointments, medications, household tasks, or other responsibilities without reminders and organization.
MS and Bladder/Bowel Issues – Bladder and bowel issues are some of the difficulties faced by MS patients. Such problems are very private and can be quite challenging. It would help to have the assistance of a caregiver who could take care of bathroom visits, dressing up, and bathing.
Mood changes and isolation – Mood disorders like depression and anxiety are among the most common MS symptoms. When you are living in a world that is shrinking around you because your body is behaving unpredictably, you end up feeling lonely.
Are you watching your loved one struggle with any of these right now? Let us step in and help. Call (501) 214-1911 for a free consultation today.
How We Support MS Patients in Little Rock Every Single Day
A lot of families ask us: “What will a caregiver actually do for my loved one with MS?”
Great question. Here is exactly what our caregivers do for MS patients in Little Rock every day:
Personal Care for Daily Routines : Personal care activities for routine tasks include bathing, dressing, grooming and personal hygiene. When MS renders these activities strenuous and even dangerous, our caregivers will take over with understanding and due consideration for your loved one’s privacy and dignity.
Meal preparation and nutrition : It takes a lot of effort to prepare a meal especially when MS-related symptoms are more pronounced on certain days. Our caregivers can assist with shopping for groceries, preparation of the meal, serving and clean-up. This would ensure that your loved one is provided access to his/her favorite foods.
Medication reminders : MS treatment plans often involve multiple medications at specific times. Our caregivers make sure your loved one never misses a dose.
Safe mobility and fall prevention : Falls are one of the biggest risks for MS patients at home. Our caregivers assist with walking, transfers, and navigating the home safely. We also identify hazards before accidents happen.
Light housekeeping. Laundry, dishes, vacuuming, tidying up. When your loved one’s energy is limited, keeping the house clean should not be their burden.
Transportation around Little Rock :Appointments at UAMS Medical Center, Baptist Health, CHI St. Vincent, physical therapy, the pharmacy. Our caregivers get your loved one there safely and back home again.
Companionship and emotional support : Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis is an experience that makes one’s daily routine more isolated when fatigue, mobility, and other symptoms impede going out and keeping contact with other people. Apart from assisting us in our home, the caregiver gives company through conversation, discussion, and various activities together.
Personal companionship can make a meaningful difference in a person’s day. It gives clients someone familiar to talk with, helps reduce feelings of loneliness, and brings more connection and routine into life at home.
Wondering if this is what your loved one needs? Call us today (501) 214-1911. We will come to your home, talk with your family, and put together a care plan built around your loved one’s specific situation.
