Costs of MS Treatment | Everyday Health

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2016

Drug treatments for MS can decrease relapses and slow disease progression. But the costs of these treatments are high. The treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) typically includes prescription drugs and various forms of rehabilitation, such as physical therapy, speech therapy, and the use of mobility aids. A study published in 2013 in the Journal of Medical Economics found that the total costs of healthcare for MS ranged from about $8,500 to over $50,000 per year during the period studied (1999 to 2008), with prescription drugs accounting for a large percentage of those costs. On the bright side, the number of people with MS with private health insurance or coverage under a government program such as Medicare and/or Medicaid appears to be increasing due to changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act of 2014, according to Nicholas LaRocca, PhD, vice president of health care delivery and policy research at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS). But even with insurance, high deductibles and/or co-payments can make paying for healthcare difficult for many individuals with MS, particularly since many people are unable to work because of their disease. According to Dr. LaRocca, Over the last few years, the prices of the MS … Continue reading →

Multiple Sclerosis Stem Cells Alternative Treatment – Stem …

Rapid Relief From MS Symptoms People with MS may now experience relief from the debilitating symptoms of MS in a matter of days. Most MS sufferers get approval to receive the powerful benefits of Liberation Therapy Plus within 48 hours after the application process is complete. Common benefits of Liberation Therapy may include: A small balloon is gently inserted through the femoral artery in the groin up into the narrowed section (stenosis) of the jugular vein. The balloon is then inflated and the vein opens up to its normal size. This permits blood to flow normally. Dr. Zamboli found that immediately after the proceduere, his wifes MS symptoms were dramatically improved. In subsequent studies of dozens of MS patients, he found narrowing of the jugular vein in virtually all of them. Some also had stenosis in the azygos vein which was resolved through the same procedure. He found that by performing a simple balloon venoplasty, their symptoms were also dramatically improved. Dr. Zamboli labeled the condition experienced by MS sufferers: Chronic Cerebro Spinal Vascular Insufficiency (CCSVI). In short, what that means is the brain is chronically not getting enough blood and this insufficient blood flow produces the lesions in the … Continue reading →

What Is Ulcerative Colitis?

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2016

What Is Ulcerative Colitis? Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease that causes inflammation in the rectum, colon (large intestine), and, infrequently, the last part of the small intestine (ileum). The inflammation affects the inner lining of the colon, causing small sores, or ulcers. Ulcerative colitis, along with a similar condition known as Crohn's disease, are collectively called inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Below, find the most important information about ulcerative colitis and links to more in-depth coverage on each topic. It is thought that IBD may be an autoimmune disease, and one theory about the cause is that it could be a result of an allergic response. Another possibility is that IBD may be caused by some combination of environmental factors. The actual cause of IBD could be a result of one or more of these theories, or there may still be a cause that research hasn't uncovered. Blood tests can also offer helpful information about the status of IBD, especially the red blood cell and white blood cell counts. Blood tests can also monitor levels of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, which may be depleted because of chronic diarrhea. Types of drugs commonly used to treat ulcerative colitis include: … Continue reading →

Ulcerative colitis Treatments and drugs – Mayo Clinic

Posted: Published on July 12th, 2016

Ulcerative colitis treatment usually involves either drug therapy or surgery. Several categories of drugs may be effective in treating ulcerative colitis. The type you take will depend on the severity of your condition. The drugs that work well for some people may not work for others, so it may take time to find a medication that helps you. In addition, because some drugs have serious side effects, you'll need to weigh the benefits and risks of any treatment. Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include: Corticosteroids. These drugs, which include prednisone and hydrocortisone, are generally reserved for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that doesn't respond to other treatments. They are given orally, intravenously, or by enema or suppository, depending on the location affected. Corticosteroids have numerous side effects, including a puffy face, excessive facial hair, night sweats, insomnia and hyperactivity. More-serious side effects include high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, bone fractures, cataracts, glaucoma and increased chance of infection. They are not usually given long term. These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they do so by suppressing the immune system response that starts the process of inflammation. For some people, a combination … Continue reading →
