Research Notes on Caregiving for Multiple Sclerosis
While caregiving for multiple sclerosis can be rewarding, it can also be tiresome and stressful. A multiple sclerosis caregiver may be a spouse, adult child, parent, or friend.1 To avoid fatigue and stress, the caregiver should take plenty of time to rest and seek support from others.2
Fast Facts:
- Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system causes damage to the protective sheath surrounding the nerves.3
- Symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary depending on the nerves that are damaged.3
- Severe cases of multiple sclerosis may cause a patient to lose their ability to walk or speak.3
