Yintoni uphawu lukaMS kunye noLhermitte?

I-Multiple sclerosis (MS) sisifo esibuhlungu esichaphazela inkqubo ye-nervous system yakho.

Uphawu lukaLhermitte, olubizwa ngokuba yinto kaLhermitte okanye isihlalo sokucheba iinwele, sihlala sinxulunyaniswa neMMS. Kukhawuleza, kukuziva ungakhululekanga okuhamba ukusuka entanyeni yakho ukuya kumqolo wakho. I-Lhermitte ihlala ichazwa njengothuko lombane okanye ukubhuza.

Imisonto yakho yemithambo igutyungelwe ngengubo ekhuselekileyo ebizwa ngokuba yi-myelin. Kwi-MS, amajoni akho omzimba ahlasela imicu yakho yentsholongwane, etshabalalisa i-myelin kunye nokonakalisa imithambo. Imithambo-luvo yakho eyonakeleyo kwaye esempilweni ayinakuthumela imiyalezo kwaye ibangelwe ziimpawu ezahlukeneyo zomzimba, kubandakanya iintlungu zentliziyo. Uphawu lukaLhermitte yenye yeempawu ezinokubakho ze-MS ezibangela iintlungu zentliziyo.

Imvelaphi yomqondiso kaLhermitte

Uphawu lukaLhermitte lwaqala ukubhalwa ngo-1924 ngugqirha wezifo zemithambo waseFransi uJean Lhermitte. U-Lhermitte wathetha-thethana netyala lowasetyhini owayekhalaza ngeentlungu zesisu, urhudo, ukungalungelelani kakuhle kwicala lasekhohlo lomzimba wakhe, kunye nokungakwazi ukutshintsha ngokukhawuleza isandla sakhe sasekunene. Ezi mpawu ziyahambelana nento ngoku eyaziwa ngokuba yi-multiple sclerosis. Eli bhinqa likwaxele imvakalelo yombane entanyeni, emqolo nasezinzwaneni, neyathi kamva yabizwa ngokuba sisifo sikaLhermitte.

Oonobangela bomqondiso kaLhermitte

Uphawu lukaLhermitte lubangelwa yimithambo engasadityaniswa ne-myelin. Ezi zivamvo ezonakalisiweyo ziphendula ekuhambeni kwentamo yakho, nto leyo ebangela uvakalelo ukusuka entanyeni yakho ukuya emqolo.

Uphawu lukaLhermitte luxhaphake kwi-MS, kodwa ayibalulekanga kwimeko leyo. Abantu abanokulimala kwentambo yomqolo okanye ukuvuvukala banokuziva iimpawu. Ucebise ukuba oku kulandelayo kunokubangela uphawu lukaLhermitte:

• i-myelitis ehambayo
• Isifo sikaBechet
• ilupus
• i-disc herniation okanye uxinzelelo lomqolo womqolo
• ukusilela kakhulu kwe-vitamin B-12
• ukwenzakala ngokwasemzimbeni

Thetha nogqirha wakho ukuba uyakholelwa ukuba ezi meko zinokubangela ukuba uve iintlungu ezahlukileyo zomqondiso kaLhermitte.

Iimpawu zomqondiso kaLhermitte

Uphawu oluphambili lwesibonakaliso sikaLhermitte ngumbono wombane ohamba entanyeni nasemva kwakho. Unokuba nalo olu hlobo kwiingalo zakho, emilenzeni, eminweni nasezinzwaneni. Imvakalelo enjengothusayo ihlala imfutshane kwaye ixakekile. Nangona kunjalo, inokuziva inamandla ngelixa ihlala.

Intlungu ihlala ibalasele xa:

• goba intloko yakho esifubeni sakho
• jika intamo yakho ngendlela engaqhelekanga
• udiniwe okanye ushushu kakhulu

Ukunyanga uphawu lukaLhermitte

Ngokwe-Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, malunga neepesenti ezingama-38 zabantu abane-MS bayakufumana uphawu lukaLhermitte.Olunye unyango olunokwenzeka olunokunceda ukunciphisa iimpawu zikaLhermitte zibandakanya:

• amayeza, anje ngee-steroids kunye namayeza okulwa nokubanjwa
• uhlengahlengiso nokuma
• iindlela zokuphumla

Thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nokuba loluphi ukhetho lonyango olulungele wena.

Amayeza kunye neenkqubo

Ugqirha wakho unokukunika amachiza okulwa nokuthimba ukunceda ukulawula iintlungu zakho. La mayeza alawula iimpembelelo zombane zomzimba wakho. Ugqirha wakho unokuphinda acebise ii-steroids ukuba uphawu lukaLhermitte luyinxalenye yokuphinda ubuye kwakhona kwi-MS. Amachiza anokunciphisa iintlungu zentlungu ehambelana rhoqo ne-MS.

I-transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) iyasebenza nakwabanye abanophawu lukaLhermitte. I-TENS ivelisa isigxina sombane ukunciphisa ukudumba kunye nentlungu. Kwakhona, iinkalo ze-electromagnetic ezijoliswe kwiindawo ezingaphandle kwekhayi lakho zibonakalise zisebenza ngokunyanga uphawu lukaLhermitte kunye nezinye iimpawu eziqhelekileyo ze-MS.

Indlela yokuphila

Utshintsho kwindlela yokuphila enokwenza ukuba iimpawu zakho zilawulwe ngakumbi zibandakanya:

• intambo yentamo enokukugcina ungagobisi intamo yakho kakhulu kwaye uzise iintlungu
• ukuphucula ukuma kwakho ngoncedo lomzimba wonyango ukukunceda ukukhusela isiqendu
• ukuphefumla okunzulu kunye nokuzolula ukuzolula iintlungu

Iimpawu ze-MS ezinje ngomqondiso kaLhermitte, ngakumbi kwifomu yokubuyela kwakhona ye-MS, ihlala iba mandundu ngamaxesha oxinzelelo lomzimba okanye lweemvakalelo. Fumana ubuthongo obuninzi, hlala uzolile, kwaye ujonge amanqanaba oxinzelelo lwakho ukulawula iimpawu zakho.

Kunokuba luncedo ukuthetha nabanye malunga nezinto ojamelene nazo. Zama i-app yethu yasimahla ye-MS Buddy ukunxibelelana nabanye kwaye ufumane inkxaso. Khuphela i-iPhone okanye i-Android.

Ukucamngca okukhuthaza ukuba ujolise kwiimvakalelo zakho nakwiingcinga zakho kunokukunceda ulawule iintlungu zakho. ukuba ungenelelo olusekwe engqondweni lunokukunceda ulawule isiphumo sentlungu kwimpilo yakho yengqondo.

Thetha nogqirha wakho ngaphambi kokutshintsha indlela oziphethe ngayo ukuze umelane nomqondiso kaLhermitte.

Imbonakalo

Uphawu lukaLhermitte lunokuba yingxoxo, ngakumbi ukuba awuqhelananga nemeko leyo. Jonga ugqirha ngoko nangoko ukuba uqala ukuziva iimpawu ezinjengothuselo lombane emzimbeni wakho xa ugoba okanye uguqula imisipha yakho yentamo.

Uphawu lukaLhermitte luphawu oluqhelekileyo lwe-MS. Ukuba ufumene ukuba une-MS, khangela unyango rhoqo kwesi kunye nezinye iimpawu ezivelayo. Umqondiso kaLhermitte unokulawulwa ngokulula ukuba uyazi ngeentshukumo ezibangela oko. Ngokuthe ngcembe ukutshintsha indlela oziphethe ngayo ukunciphisa iintlungu noxinzelelo lwale meko kungaluphucula kakhulu umgangatho wobomi bakho.
