Who doesn’t want ahead of luxuriant hair, that is well-groomed and styled? Even those who are not too bothered about their clothes, tend to fret about their hair, especially if they suffer from hair loss. Hair loss is a global problem for millions of people of both sexes, across age-groups. Little wonder then, that hair care products and treatments, constitute a multi-billion industry today.
Expensive hair-regeneration treatments hold out the promise of ‘crowning glory’ to those who are losing hair, but they need to be done only by experts who can gauge the dangers and side-effects on those undergoing treatment. Drugs and drug-based solutions are popular too, but they come with their own set of side-effects and contraindications, whether they are used topically or consumed internally.

The drawback with hair care products and drugs is that they don’t have a holistic approach to hair-health, because problems related to hair are not only localized but also have deeper roots in the form of nutrient deficiencies and imbalances in the body.

Some of the factors causing hair loss are:

Physical causes like vigorous brushing, hair dyes, chemicals and heat involved in a procedure like hair straightening and perming.
Effects of dust, pollution and hard water.
Stress and anxiety.
Deficiency of iron and zinc in the body.
Imbalances in the liver function.
As you can see, the last two factors are not localized but are still directly connected with hair-health. But there is no cause for despair. There is an excellent solution to all hair-related problems, which not only solves your hair problems but also tones up your liver and general health.

Keshya, is that wonderful Ayurvedic health supplement, that has been developed by the world-renowned Ayurvedic Physician, Dr Mukesh D. Jain, with some of the most effective, scientifically proven, and time-tested herbs. It has been clinically evaluated for over two decades for its efficacy in controlling hair loss and promoting overall hair health and is completely safe for both men and women.

The most important ingredient of Keshya is Bhrangaraj, (Eclipta Alba), which is also known as Keshraj in Assamese and Karisalankanni in Tamil. This Ayurvedic herb is scientifically verified for its efficacy as a liver cleanser and tonic. As we saw above, hair loss can be the result of the imbalance of pitta in the liver – one of the tridoshas elucidated in Ayurveda. Ranjak Pitta, produced in the liver directly affects hair health, including thinning, premature greying and discolouration of hair.

In addition to correcting the imbalance of pitta, Bhrangaraj has a host of other hair-related benefits too. It boosts blood circulation to the scalp, which ensures better nourishment for the hair follicles, resulting in healthy hair growth. This miraculous herb is regarded as the ‘Rasayana’ in Ayurveda – an ingredient that rejuvenates and slows down the ageing process. It has been proven to be better than Minoxidil in the regeneration of hair, without any side effects!

Besides Bhrangaraj, there are other excellent herbs in Keshya, which have a wide range of benefits.

Emblica Officinale acts as an antioxidant and helps fight free radicals that damage the hair.
Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kala) increases blood circulation to the scalp and nourishes hair follicles, strengthening them.
Rajat Bhasma is a rejuvenating herb that helps brain nerves, fights against anxiety and stress and boosts immunity.
Mouktik (Pearl) Pishti is natural calcium that corrects the pitta imbalance in the liver, prevents premature greying and discolouration, and helps in hair growth.
Aloe Vera contains enzymes that help repair dead cells on the skin of the scalp. It also conditions the hair and prevents itching and dandruff.

Why waste money on expensive hair care products that might not deliver what they promise or risk your health with drugs that come with side-effects? Go for the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda in the form of Keshya, which is both safe and effective.

Minoxidil, a vasodilator used to treat cardiac problems is applied on the scalp in the form or drops and foam, to help hair growth. Though how it works is not very clear, it is supposed to be effective. The other steroidal drug, Finasteride, is used in the treatment of baldness in men and works by decreasing the amount of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone linked to hair loss and other health problems.

Weakness is one of the predominant manifestations of neuromuscular disorders which strongly influences daily life. Ayurvedic Rasayana medicines and therapies are efficient in the long term management of Neuro-muscular problems. Ayurvedic herbo-metallic medicines are safe and effective to improve neuro-muscular functions. This is especially important to control symptoms, improve functional ability, and to prolong life.
Neuromuscular weakness happens when the nerves that control your body do not exchange information to your muscles normally. Or, you may have a condition that prevents your muscles from working properly. The usual cause of Neuromuscular weakness is muscular dystrophies, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) autoimmune diseases, such as Graves’ disease, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. thyroid conditions, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

There are several Rasayana herbs and metallic medicines with a promise to help Neuro-muscular patients. The most promising Rasayana medicines are carefully prepared by processed Parad (Mercury) which is a well-known therapeutic agent in Ayurveda. It is only metal in the liquid poisonous form which can be converted into a powerful therapeutic molecule. Traditionally purified Parad is a very cost-effective and preventive drug. Parad is regarded as Amrita and can help improve neuro-muscular disabilities.

A liquid impure mercury through many stages of purification, samskaras, rituals, and churning becomes a therapeutic magic Parad. There is the spiritual mystery behind the alchemy of Parad. It is difficult to imagine the science of rejuvenation by modern chemistry. Processed Parad is called Ras and the ayurvedic medicine with processed mercury is called Ras Aushadhi.

A Rasayana medicine helps in achieving a stable mind and believed to be the best destroyer of the diseases. Aging can be prevented and longevity can be achieved by judicious administration of Rasayana medicine. Preparations containing Parad can be given with honey, powder of amla, ginger, lemon juice, like a suitable vehicle. Ayurvedic mercurial preparations can be used in the long term management of uncontrolled Neuro-muscular diseases.

In Ayurveda, heavy metals are converted into non-metallic form. This is a traditional specialty. Herbo-metallic compounds should be initially detoxified. The detoxification process involves various heat and cool cycles along with oil, buttermilk, rice gruel, cow’s urine, herbal decoctions, etc. From ancient times, garlic has been useful for the purification of Parad.
The Medhya Rasayana from Bacopa monieri, Centella Asiatica, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Tinospora cordifolia, and Convolvulus pleuricaulis are scientifically verified for their long term safety and efficacy. The Neuro Cons, Myo Cons, and Mamsagni Rasayana are very effective being used by AMDS India since 1995.

माइग्रेन सिरदर्द की बीमारी है, जो मूलतः न्यूरोलॉजिकल प्रॉब्लम है । आमतौर पर यह दर्द आधे सिर में होता है और आता-जाता रहता है, लेकिन कई बार पूरे सिर में दर्द होता है। यह दर्द 2 घंटे से लेकर 72 घंटे तक बना रहा सकता है। कई बार दर्द शुरू होने से पहले मरीज को चेतावनी भरे संकेत भी मिलते हैं, जिससे उसे पता चल जाता है कि माइग्रेन सिरदर्द होने वाला है। आयुर्वेदिक इलाज में प्रमुख रूप से गोदन्ती, जातीफल , वत्सनाभ तथा मेध्य रसायन ग्रुप की औषधियां प्रभावी एवं सुरक्षित हैं।
Migraine is basically a neurological headache. Certain Neurotransmitters are responsible for this painful condition. Ayurveda recounts several factors for this condition such as faulty genes (Beej Dushti), faulty foods (Unhealthy diet and drink), faulty thinking and behavior (unhealthy lifestyle), and faulty environmental conditions (Pollution). The causative factors result in neuroendocrine dysfunction (Vata Prakopa), which disturbs the metabolism (Pitta) and immunity (Kapha). This is further followed by dysfunction of the arteries, membranes of the brain, and the nerves, ultimately resulting in a migraine.

The treatment agenda is focused on the regulation of the Neuro-endocrinal system (Vata system). In addition, associated abnormalities in metabolism and immunity should also be managed. The management should begin with pain-relieving drugs such as Vatsanabh, Jatiphal, and Godanti. Gradually we can shift to anti-inflammatory treatment using Shallaki, and Erandmula along with Guggul and Dasmool.

Since Migraine is a neurological problem, we should use nootropic herbs such as Jyotishmati, Akarkara, and Vacha. Finally, we can use some Rasayana drugs such as Ashvagandha, Kapikachhu, Shilajatu, and Brahmi.

Have you ever thought about how your daily lifestyle affects your health and happiness? Have you been told that making time for those little things such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management, can all affect your life?

Our life-sustaining system is our IMMUNITY (Vyadhi Kshamatva) that serves as a defense mechanism and protects us from infections, dis-eases, and unhappiness. It’s important to keep the immune system healthy so it can effectively do its job. Ayurveda offers lifestyle choices that affect your immune system.

NUTRITION (AHARA)
Nutrition plays a huge role in how our immune system functions. When your body is deprived of essential nutrients, it isn’t performing at its highest level.
SLEEP (NIDRA)
Sleep is what your body needs to repair and restore itself. Getting enough high-quality sleep is just as important as proper nutrition and physical activity is for your body. Sleep is the body’s way to repair cells and tissues.
STRESS-FREE LIVING (BRAHMACARYA)
Stress is the salt of life, but too much stress can be harmful. The effects of too much stress accumulate and can make you more susceptible to illnesses and diseases. A stress-free lifestyle is a key component in keeping our immune system healthy.

According to Ayurveda, strong immunity is a product of good digestion, strong Agni (Regulated metabolism) quality liver functioning, and a balanced Neuro-endocrine system which is represented by well-balanced Vata energy. Immunity is also very much connected to a mysterious substance called Ojas.

Ojas is the positive subtle Paraná responsible for body strength, vigor, vitality, and immunity. It is the superfine essence of all of the bodily tissues and the end product of perfect digestion. So our focus should be on Ojas promotion. There are Ayurvedic remedies and therapies with protecting our Neuro-endocrinal system and promote the Ojas and thereby Immunity.

There are a number of Ayurvedic herbs that can support the immune system. Substances such as milk, ghee, or honey work as carriers that assist in delivering herbs deeper into those tissues. Turmeric is an easy resource to bolster the immune system. Curcumin, the active principle of turmeric helps purify the blood, strengthens digestion, and eliminates natural toxins from the digestive tract.

Similarly, Ginger (Zingiber officinale) regulates digestion, burn Ama molecules, and stimulate and support the immune system. Zingiber officinale has a number of chemicals responsible for its medicinal properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and ant mutagenic properties.

Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) is a spiritual herb efficient in promoting healthy circulation, and strong digestion. It is useful in maintaining normal body temperature and it naturally bolsters the immune system. Being a spiritual herb, Tulsi serves to elevate awareness and mental clarity.

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is commonly used for stress. It is also used as an “adaptogen” for many other conditions. Ashwagandha contains chemicals that might help calm the brain, reduce swelling (inflammation), lower blood pressure, and alter the immune system.

Immunity Support and Neuro Cons developed by Dr. Mukesh Jain for the Ayush Samiti, the parent body of AMDS India, are efficient formulas to rejuvenate the Neuro-Conscious- apparatus and strengthen the body’s resistance against infections and diseases.

Congenital anomalies or birth defects are functional anomalies that occur during intrauterine life. According to Ayurveda congenital anomalies are due to defect in germ cells or somatic cells in the intrauterine environment. Birth defects may be caused by the abnormal migration of neurons in the developing brain and nervous system. These types of abnormalities happen in the ovum or sperm (Beeja), chromosome (Beejabhaga), and DNA or gene (Beejabhagaavyava ) level. Children with severe lissencephaly (Smooth brain) have a poor life expectancy. Children with lissencephaly can show progress in their development over time. Supportive care may be needed to help with comfort, feeding, and nursing needs. Autistic behavior and Seizures may be particularly problematic. Ayurvedic Medhya Rasayana has promising effects in NMD especially mental retardation, spasticity, and seizures.

Ayurvedic treatment agenda focuses on improving brain damage by balancing biological force (Vata energy) and neuron protection. Intellect promoting herbs help in the rejuvenation of the damaged brain cells.  Bacopa monnieri, Centella asiatica, Convolvulus pluricaulis, Celastrus panniculatus, and Lavandula stoechas are interesting and effective nootropic herbs. These natural resources are efficient in the prophylaxis and treatment of congenital anomalies.

The administration of processed gold (Nano Rasayana) in children is a unique practice mentioned in Ayurveda as “Swarnaprashana”. The procedure in which nano gold along with herbs is taken in the form of liquid, semi-solid, or paste form by children orally is referred to as Swarnaprashana. The administration of nanogold in children can help in improving intellect, digestion and metabolism, muscle tone, immunity and to increase the life span. There are various formulations of nanogold processed with nootropic herbs for children with a small brain, mental retardation, spasticity, and seizures.

Ayurvedic Nano Rasayana is mainly implicated in two contexts: supplementary feeds (Lehana) and newborn care (Jatakarma Samskara) This unique administration of Ayurvedic nano gold may benefit at multiple levels like as a Neuro-muscular health promoter and to the enhancement of intelligence, digestion, metabolism, and immunity. Remember Ayurveda recommends only purified and processed form of gold for internal administration.

The Prana Drops are efficient in common pediatric problems. The active ingredients are Ocimum sanctum, O. basilicum processed with Centella asiatica, and Bacopa monnieri. This herbal blend regulates immunity and vitality. It reduces stress, enhances stamina, relieves inflammation, lowers cholesterol, eliminates toxins, protects against radiation, prevents gastric ulcers, lowers fevers, improves digestion, and provides a rich supply of antioxidants and other nutrients. , It is a natural immunity booster and helpful in all types of allergies. Prana drops is the best way of intestine cleaning and to remove the impurities of blood.

In view of the central nervous system, the effects of Saraswatarishta and Neuro Pills are useful in epileptic and hysterical seizures and Neuro-mental disorders. Ayurvedic Saraswataristam is useful to treat acute anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, partial loss of memory, low grasping power, slurred, or difficult speech.

Autoimmune disease is a varied group of illnesses that involve every human organ system. It includes diseases of the nervous, gastrointestinal, and endocrine systems, as well as skin and other connective tissues, eyes, blood, and blood vessels. In all of these ADs, the underlying problem is “autoimmunity” — the body’s immune system becomes misdirected and attacks the very organs it was designed to protect. An autoimmune disease occurs when the body tissues are attacked by its own immune system. At the core of the immune system, there is the ability to tell the difference between self and foreign body. An interruption in this system can make the body unable to explain the difference between self and foreign body. The cause is poorly understood by modern science. Ayurveda suggests that the attacks of the immune system are not accidental, but it is a part of self-defense against a harmful metabolic molecule named ‘Ama’. There are several reasons for the emergence of Ama which is produced in the tissues that are attacked.

Ama has been defined as (i) undigested or semi-digested food, (ii) the accumulation of excretions (Mala Sanchaya), and (iii) deregulation of pathophysiology (Dosha). Usually, the Ama molecule is produced due to poor enzymatic function (Mandagni) at the level of gastrointestinal or cellular level during metabolism.
Ama is a kind of auto-toxins (Ama Visha) that behave like an antigen. Autoimmune diseases are usually caused by the penetration of large amounts of Ama molecules in certain body tissues or physiological systems. Ama can be responsible for a number of conditions, ranging from occasional diarrhea, leaky gut syndrome to chronic diseases, such as, increase the level of blood urea, uric acid, dyslipidemia, and rheumatoid arthritis and many more.
Many diseases begin with the formation of Ama in the body. We can relate it with the formation of deadly free radicals which are unstable chemicals formed in the body during normal metabolism or exposure to environmental toxins. Free radicals exist in an incomplete metabolic state similar to the state of Ama described as incompletely metabolized (Avipakvam). Ama is responsible for the production of various diseases; in the same way free radicals are also found to be the root cause of many diseases.

How to identify the presence of Ama?

Basically, Mandagni is responsible for the production of Ama. Several signs and symptoms of Ama’s presence are described in Ayurveda. More important are constipation, loss of strength, giddiness, vertigo, body ache, and malaise (Angmarda).

There are over 100 different autoimmune diseases, and the prevalence is ever rising. Our body resistance against diseases is of two kinds i.e. the one which attenuates the manifested disease and another variety prevents the manifestation of diseases. In Ayurveda, it is called Vyadhi Kshamatva which is the manifestation of Ojus which is dependent upon our diet, drink, and lifestyle. The food we eat has an important role to influence Vyadhi Kshamatva. Ojus is the best supporter of life and it is the product of our lifestyle.
Poor address to the basic cause (Ama production) and only suppressing to painful symptoms accelerate disease progression. Ayurvedic treatment agenda is focused to address the root cause for cure or at least lasting relief. There are many remedies and therapies available in Ayurveda. Omni Amritam is a wonderful formulation. It is a natural blend of processed Semicarpus Anacardium (Bhallatak), Plumbago zeylanica (Chitrak), Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha), Boswellia serrata (Guggul) and Curcuma (Haldi) are efficient Ayurvedic resources for the prevention and treatment of auto-immune diseases

With this Corona pandemic, it seems that the virus and immunity are the future of medicine. The modulation of immune response by using Ayurvedic herbs has now become a subject of scientific investigation. Our body makes different immunoglobulin (antibodies), to fight different things. Sometimes, the body may even mistakenly make antibodies against itself, treating healthy organs and tissues like foreign invaders. This is called an autoimmune disease.

Immunomodulators are considered now as one of the most potent tools in the management of health and disease by modern medicine. In fact, the role of Immunomodulators in modern medicine is yet to be fully appreciated or perceived as our understanding of the immune system is changing at a rapid pace. The more recent understanding of the Neuroendocrine – immune axis or the influence of exercise, circadian rhythms, seasonal variations, different psychological states on the immune system is unfolding many such issues that are bringing the modern concept closer to Ayurvedic principles of Vyadhi-Kshamatva, Ojas, and Bala.

Basically Vyadhi-Kshamatva has a wide meaning and wider implications in Ayurveda. Ayurvedic experts consider it as antagonistic to the strength and virulence of the disease (Vyadhi Bala Virodhitwa). Ancient Rishi Charaka, one of the principal contributors to Ayurveda has also described Bala as the factor, that destroys the Dosas or disease-causing factors viz., “Balam hyalam dosaharam Nigrahaya dosanam” (Ch. Chi. 3/16).

Bala is also referred to as Paraná and Ojas. They have an underlying meaning of bio strength and vitally with a natural resistance against aging and disease. The Ayurvedic term Ojus is very appealing. The Ojas prevents, resists, and overcomes such pathological factors that are produced in the course of the vital activities of the organism and may lead to decay and degeneration of the body tissues. Ojas also provide the body with an appropriate substance, which inhabits, neutralizes, and destroys the virulent factors of the disease. Depletion of Ojas is responsible for many metabolic disorders and over 100 of auto-immune disease.

Modern unhealthy diet and drinks, smoking, alcohol, and viral infections weakens our immunity. The altered immune activity has a central role in many chronic diseases. Inflammation is the central driving force in much of chronic degenerative diseases. Immunological research involving cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, neuropathies, diabetes, heart diseases, and others has not only enabled the understanding of the mechanisms that underlie these diseases but also suggested new alternative approaches on patients minimizing morbidity and mortality.

Rasayana drugs are meant to improve the state of nourishment, which in turn upholds increased Ojas and formation of necessary immunoglobins in the body. Rasayana molecules support vitality and bio strength with a natural resistance against aging, degeneration, and disease. Ayurvedic herbs viz: Withania somnifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Ocimum sanctum, and piper longum are efficient to increase Ojus, regulate the formation of immunoglobins, and boost our immunity.

रिसर्च से पता चलता है कि जिन लोगों को गहरे तनाव या आघात का सामना करना पड़ा है, उनमें फाइब्रोमायल्जिया विकसित हो सकता है, और इसमें आनुवंशिकी भी एक भूमिका निभा सकती है। दोस्तों और परिवार को अक्सर यह समझना मुश्किल हो जाता है कि कैसे स्वस्थ दिखने वाला व्यक्ति अस्वस्थ हो सकता है या सामान्य रूप से कार्य करने में असमर्थ है। कभी कभी मात्र व्यक्ति के चिड़चिड़ाने या बिना बात झल्लाने पर आसपास के लोग उसकी स्थिति का गलत आंकलन करते हैं। जबकि यह फाइब्रोमायल्जिया के कारण भी हो सकता है।

Widespread muscle pain and tenderness on both sides of the body are the most common symptoms of Fibromyalgia which is often accompanied by fatigue, malaise, and poor sleep. A cognitive symptom commonly referred to as “fibro fog” impairs the ability to focus, pay attention, and concentrate on mental tasks. Ayurvedic therapies and remedies can help control symptoms. Exercise, relaxation, and stress-reduction measures also may help. Ayurvedic supplements help to reduce pain and improve sleep.

Common choices include:
(1) Pain relievers. Sukumar Guggul Rasayana, Jathiphala, and Praval are helpful.
(2) Antidepressants. Medhya Rasayana ayurvedic Ghee
(3) Anti-seizure drugs. Neuro Pills, Omni Tab, Omni Cept, MyoCons, and Medhya Rasayana are often useful in reducing certain types of pain.

Mitochondrial diseases are very complex disorders that until a few years ago were little known by the scientific community itself. In recent years, giant steps have been taken in the study of the basic mechanisms involved in these diseases, confirmed by the passage of the main focus of research from the study of the possibilities of making a diagnosis to the identification and development of therapeutic strategies and clinical trials.

The process of converting food and oxygen into energy requires hundreds of chemical reactions, and each chemical reaction must run almost perfectly in order to have a continuous supply of energy. When one or more components of these chemical reactions do not run perfectly, there is an energy crisis, and the cells cannot function normally. As a result, the incompletely burned food might accumulate as a toxin inside the body. This is called Auto-toxin. In Ayurveda, this is called Ama Dosha. These auto-toxins can stop other chemical reactions that are important for the cells to survive, making the energy crisis even worse. In addition, these auto-toxins can act as free radicals (reactive substances that readily form harmful compounds with other molecules) that can damage the mitochondria over time, causing mitochondrial disorders. Mitochondrial diseases might affect functions of the brain, nerves (including the nerves to the stomach and intestines), muscles, kidneys, heart, liver, eyes, ears, or pancreas. Depending on how severe the mitochondrial disorder is, the illness can range in severity from mild to fatal.

Ayurveda can help reduce symptoms or delay the progression of the disease. Ayurvedic treatment with Rasayana molecules is medicinally important. Curcumin, Withanaloids, Boswellic acid, and Fulvic acid are efficient to stop further deterioration of muscles due to several genetic NMD, including mitochondrial diseases. These molecules are basically anti-oxidants, blocks nuclear k-factor, and will help delay the muscle degeneration. Medicines improve muscle strength and functional abilities. Ayurvedic Rasayana medicines do not alter the patient’s genetic code or introduce genetic materials into the body. These safe and natural medicines are developed and being clinically used by AMDS India for Care through Ayurveda research project since 1995.

AMDS India utilizes a holistic multi-modal treatment approach. The patients are examined according to both, Ayurvedic and Western medical methods. The results of these examinations help to design the individual’s clinical programs. The Ayush Samiti, the parent body of AMDS India, plans for long term follow-up studies on Mito human patients. AMDS India currently verifying the efficiency of Prana Drops in Mito children. The focus is on the inhibitory effect on the incorporation of the ribosome -35S into the granulation tissue and the uncoupling effect on oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria of granulation tissue.

Muscle and nerve weakness, the feeling of fatigue, or poor functional abilities due to pain are common. Potential causes are *neuromuscular disorders*, such as muscular dystrophies, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, *autoimmune diseases*, such as Graves’ disease, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome and *Thyroid conditions*, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. While these conditions are currently not curable in Allopathic medicine, Ayurvedic Panch Karma, Physiotherapy, and Yogic support offer safe, affordable, and lasting relief.

(1) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal and one of the most devastating of the disorders that affect the function of nerves and muscles. ALS does not affect the senses (such as seeing or hearing). It also usually does not affect mental functioning. It is not contagious.
(2) Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is genetic peripheral neuropathy. It causes abnormalities in the nerves that supply your feet, legs, hands, and arms. It affects both your motor and sensory nerves. Motor nerves carry signals from your brain to your muscles, telling them to move. Sensory nerves carry sensations, such as heat, cold, and pain back to your brain.
(3) Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a long-lasting disease of the central nervous system. It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, a condition in which the body attacks itself by mistake. MS is an unpredictable disease that affects people differently. Some people with MS may have only mild symptoms. Others may lose their ability to see clearly, write, speak, or walk when communication between the brain and other parts of the body becomes disrupted.
(4) A muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness of the body’s muscles. Some types of muscular dystrophy will present symptoms in early childhood, while other types will appear in adulthood. Different muscle groups also may be affected depending on the type of muscular dystrophy. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common form of childhood muscular dystrophy. It generally appears in 3-to 6-year-old boys and worsens rapidly. Becker muscular dystrophy has symptoms similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, symptoms most commonly begin in the teens to mid-20s and progress slowly.
(5) Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its own neuromuscular connections. This causes problems with communication between nerves and muscles, resulting in weakness. Myasthenia gravis affects the voluntary muscles of the body, especially the eyes, mouth, throat, and limbs. In women, myasthenia gravis generally starts by age 20 to 30. In men, it usually starts after the age of 50. But this condition can occur at any age. Males are more often affected than females.
(6) Myopathy is a general term referring to any disease that affects the muscles that control voluntary movement in the body. Patients experience muscle weakness due to a dysfunction of the muscle fibers. Some myopathies are genetic and can be passed from parent to child. Others are acquired later in life and can be due to autoimmune disease, known as myositis, metabolic disorders or other causes.
(7) Myositis is a rare group of diseases characterized by inflamed muscles, which can cause prolonged muscle fatigue and weakness. The group includes the autoimmune disorders juvenile myositis, dermatomyositis and polymyositis, as well as inclusion body myositis (IBM). These diseases, sometimes referred to as inflammatory myopathies, can affect the internal organs, skin and multiple muscle groups of patients.
(8) Peripheral Neuropathy is presented by weakness, numbness and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet. A common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, but it can also result from injuries, infections and exposure to toxins. Symptoms include pain, a pins-and-needles sensation, numbness and weakness.
(9) Spinal muscular atrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by weakness and wasting (atrophy) in muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles). It is caused by a loss of specialized nerve cells, called motor neurons that control muscle movement.
