AJ,
I have considered all the aspect of MS and its symptoms, but with respect for the first lady of the UNITED STATES, there should never be something that hinders her abilities to represent the USA. When John Kerry was running for the white house, people on this board mocked Teresa Heinz just for the way she spoke. They also mocked her connection to fortunes making that a "bad thing" calling her an elite, but can you get more of an elite than Mitt Romney and Ann Romney??
Ann Romney is not only an Elite, but an unhealthy Elite who, if by circumstance, could very well end up the most unhealthiest first lady in history.
Symptoms
Symptoms vary, because the location and severity of each attack can be different. Episodes can last for days, weeks, or months. These episodes alternate with periods of reduced or no symptoms (remissions).
Fever, hot baths, sun exposure, and stress can trigger or worsen attacks.
It is common for the disease to return (relapse). However, the disease may continue to get worse without periods of remission.
Because nerves in any part of the brain or spinal cord may be damaged, patients with multiple sclerosis can have symptoms in many parts of the body.
Muscle symptoms:
- Loss of balance
- Muscle spasms
- Numbness or abnormal sensation in any area
- Problems moving arms or legs
- Problems walking
- Problems with coordination and making small movements
- Tremor in one or more arms or legs
- Weakness in one or more arms or legs
- Constipation and stool leakage
- Difficulty beginning to urinate
- Frequent need to urinate
- Strong urge to urinate
- Urine leakage (incontinence)
- Double vision
- Eye discomfort
- Uncontrollable rapid eye movements
- Vision loss (usually affects one eye at a time)
- Facial pain
- Painful muscle spasms
- Tingling, crawling, or burning feeling in the arms and legs
- Decreased attention span, poor judgment, and memory loss
- Difficulty reasoning and solving problems
- Depression or feelings of sadness
- Dizziness and balance problems
- Hearing loss
- Problems with erections
- Problems with vaginal lubrication
- Slurred or difficult-to-understand speech
- Trouble chewing and swallowing
This condition is the LAST thing that should be on the resume of a first lady and its highly selfish for MITT ROMNEY to put his wife in this position knowing full well that she is unhealthy.
You may call it sacrifice, but the rest of america calls it ELITIEST SELFISHNESS.
The Romneys have lived a life where money had bought them everything, yet it cant buy Ann Romney a clean bill of health.
Complications
- Depression
- Difficulty swallowing
- Difficulty thinking
- Less and less ability to care for self
- Need for indwelling catheter
- Osteoporosis or thinning of the bones
- Pressure sores
- Side effects of medications used to treat the disorder
- Urinary tract infections
Who seriously would want a first lady who had to experience these types of complications while occupying the white house?
Now, Ann Romney may attempt to "hide" her condition from the press and the voters by simply disappearing from time to time out of the limelight, but in the white house, this is a HIGH STRESS environment, and an unhealthy woman wouldnt be able to survive in that environment.
Just look at Michele Obama, shes got the right wing and people like moreluck scrutinizing everything she does with a fine tooth comb and you know that has to be stressful, now what do you think that kind of daily barrage of nonsense would do to Ann Romney?
Now, either Mitt Romney is trying to kill his wife by placing her into an enviroment of high stress knowing that she cant possibly handle it or they are both that selfish that they think they can just ignore the illness.
If Ann Romney cant handle simply campaigning without ending up in a wheelchair, how is she going to handle the everyday responsibility of being a first lady?
Think about it.
The GOP should vote as if they are saving her life and send her home(s).
Peace
