Ingabe ngezinye izikhathi uba nobunzima bokuhamba, ukungazweli ezithweni zakho, noma uzizwa ukhathele ngaso sonke isikhathi ngaphandle kwesizathu? Ingabe uzizwa sengathi lezi zimpawu aziqali ngokuzumayo, kodwa ziyanda kancane kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi? Ngakho-ke kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi uqaphele lesi simo esibizwa ngokuthi i-PPMS esikhuluma ngaso namuhla. Nakuba lesi kuyisihloko esiyinkimbinkimbi kancane, sizokhuluma ngaso kalula, ngendlela ongayiqonda.
Kuyini i-PPMS kalula?
Kulungile, ake siqale sibone ukuthi iyini i-PPMS. Igama elithi PPMS limele i-`Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis` . Lolu uhlobo lwesifo i-`Multiple Sclerosis` ( MS ).
Kalula nje, i-Multiple Sclerosis (MS) yisimo lapho isimiso somzimba wethu sokuzivikela , uhlelo olusivikela ezifweni, sihlasela ngephutha isimiso sethu sezinzwa. Lokhu kuphazamisa ukugeleza kolwazi phakathi kobuchopho, umgogodla, kanye nomzimba wonke.
Manje kunezinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko ze-MS.
1. I-MS Ebuyela Emuva (RRMS): Lokhu kwenzeka lapho izimpawu ziba zimbi ngokuzumayo (sikubiza ngokuthi 'ukubuyela emuva'), bese kuthi ngemva kwesikhashana izimpawu zibe ngcono noma ziphele ngokuphelele (`ukuxolelwa`). Kufana nemvula, ifika ngokuzumayo, iphume, ibuye futhi.
2. I-Primary Progressive MS (PPMS): Uhlobo esikhuluma ngalo namuhla, i-PPMS, luyindaba ehlukile. Lapha, izimpawu azivuki ngokuzumayo bese ziphela. Esikhundleni salokho, izimpawu ziba zimbi kancane kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Njengokuconsa, kuba manzi kancane bese kuba manzi kakhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi, izimpawu zingavuki, kodwa lokho akuvamile.
Cishe i-10% yeziguli ezine-MS zinalolu hlobo lwe-MS, olubizwa ngokuthi i-PPMS.
Yiziphi izimpawu eziyinhloko ze-PPMS?
Ku-PPMS, izimpawu zingase zingabi sobala ekuqaleni. Kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ziba zimbi kakhulu. Lezi zimpawu zingahluka kumuntu nomuntu. Ake sibheke izimpawu eziyinhloko ongase uzizwe.
| Isibonakaliso | Incazelo elula |
|---|---|
| Ubunzima bokuhamba | Lolu uphawu oluvame kakhulu lwe-PPMS. Kungaba nzima ukuhamba ngenxa yobuthakathaka, ukuqina, noma ukulahlekelwa ibhalansi emilenzeni. |
| Ukukhathala okuvamile | Ukuzizwa ukhathele kakhulu, ngisho nangemva kokulala kahle futhi ungenzi lutho. Lokhu kungaphezu kakhulu kokukhathala okuvamile. |
| Ukuba ndikindiki noma ukulahlekelwa umuzwa emilenzeni | Ungase uzizwe ungenamizwa, ungenazinaliti, noma ulahlekelwe umuzwa ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zomzimba wakho, ikakhulukazi izandla nezinyawo zakho. |
| Izinguquko zombono | Ukubona okufiphele, ukubona okubili, noma ubuhlungu bamehlo bungase buvele. |
| Ukuqina kwemisipha noma ubuthakathaka | Imisipha iyaqina (ukungaguquguquki), okwenza kube nzima ukugoba nokuvuleka. Amandla emisipha nawo ayancipha. |
| Izinkinga zomchamo kanye namathumbu | Izinkinga ezifana nesidingo sokuchama ngokuzumayo, ukungakwazi ukulawula ukuchama, noma ubunzima bokuchama kungenzeka. |
| Izinkinga zokucabanga nenkumbulo (Inkungu Yobuchopho) | Izinto ezinjengobunzima bokugxilisa ingqondo, ukulahlekelwa yinkumbulo, kanye nobunzima bokuthola amagama zingenzeka. |
Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuthi, ungacabangi ukuthi une-PPMS ngoba nje unesinye noma ezimbili zalezi zimpawu. Lezi zimpawu zingabonakala nakwezinye izimo eziningi. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukubona udokotela ukuze uthole ukuxilongwa okufanele.
Kungani i-PPMS ikhula? Iyini imbangela?
Eqinisweni, imbangela eqondile ye-MS noma i-PPMS ayikaziwa, kodwa abacwaningi bakholelwa ukuthi kuyinhlanganisela yezici.
- Ukuthambekela kwezakhi zofuzo: Uma othile emndenini wakho ene-MS, nawe unengozi encane yokuba nayo. Kodwa lena ingozi encane kakhulu. Lokhu kusho ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukuthi izingane ziyoyithola ngoba nje abazali bazo babenayo.
- Izici Zemvelo: Ukuchayeka kumagciwane athile noma ukutheleleka ngamagciwane kukholakala ukuthi kunethonya elithile ekuthuthukisweni kwe-MS.
- Ukusebenza kwesistimu yokuzivikela yomzimba: Njengoba sishilo ngaphambili, okwenzekayo lapha ukuthi isimiso sethu sokuzivikela somzimba silimaza isembozo esivikelayo (`i-myelin sheath`) esizungeze amangqamuzana ethu ezinzwa . Lo monakalo uphazamisa ukudluliselwa kwemiyalezo ngemizwa.
I-PPMS ihlolwa kanjani?
Akukho ukuhlolwa okukodwa okungaqinisekisa i-PPMS. Udokotela uxilonga lesi sifo ngokuhlola ngokucophelela izimpawu zakho, umlando wezokwelapha, kanye nemiphumela yokuhlolwa okuningana. Lokhu kusho ukuthi kuyinqubo ethatha isikhathi.
Nazi ezinye zezivivinyo eziyinhloko ezenziwayo.
| Ukuhlolwa | Ubonani kulokhu? |
|---|---|
| Ukuskena kwe-MRI | Lokhu kusiza ekubhekeni izilonda emithanjeni yobuchopho kanye nomgogodla. Lokhu kuwukuhlolwa okubalulekile ekuxilongeni i-PPMS. |
| Ukubhoboza Kwe-Lumbar | Inaliti encane ifakwa emgogodleni ukuze kususwe inani elincane loketshezi lwe-cerebrospinal bese luhlolwa ukuthi lukhona yini amaprotheni athile (`ama-oligoclonal bands`) abonakala ku-MS. |
| Ukuhlolwa Kwegazi | Ukuhlolwa kwegazi kwenziwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi azikho ezinye izimo zezokwelapha (isib. ukuntuleka kwamavithamini, ezinye izifo ezizimele) ezingase zibangele lezi zimpawu. |
| I-Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) | Lokhu ukuskena okungenabuhlungu. Kusetshenziselwa ukukala umonakalo wemizwa ngemuva kweso (umthambo obonakalayo). I-MS ingalimaza nalezi mizwa. |
I-PPMS ivame ukutholakala iphakathi kweminyaka engama-40 nengama-50, kodwa lesi simo singavela kunoma yimuphi ubudala.
Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha i-PPMS?
Akukho ukwelashwa kwe-PPMS okwamanje. Kodwa-ke, kunezindlela zokwelapha ezinganciphisa ukuqhubeka kwesifo futhi zenze impilo ibe lula ngokulawula izimpawu.
Ukwelashwa kungahlukaniswa izingxenye ezimbili eziyinhloko:
1. Izindlela Zokwelapha Eziguqula Izifo (DMTs)
Le mithi isebenza ngokunciphisa ijubane lomonakalo wezinzwa obangelwa yilesi sifo kanye nokunciphisa izinga lapho lesi sifo siba sibi kakhulu. Enye ye-DMTs eyinhloko evunyelwe i-PPMS yi -ocrelizumab (Ocrevus®) . Lo muthi ungasiza ekulawuleni izinga lapho izimpawu ziba zimbi khona, ngezinga elithile.
2. Ukuphathwa Kwezimpawu
Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu. Izindlela zokwelapha ezahlukahlukene zisetshenziswa ukulawula izimpawu ezithinta impilo yansuku zonke.
- Ukwelashwa nge-physiotherapy : Ukuzivocavoca kanye nezinye izindlela zokwelapha kunikeza impumuzo ekuqineni kwemisipha, ubuthakathaka, kanye nezinkinga zokulinganisela .
- Ukwelapha Emsebenzini: Kufundisa izindlela namathuluzi okwenza imisebenzi yansuku zonke (isib. ukugqoka, ukupheka) kube lula.
- Imithi: Udokotela wakho angase akunike imithi ehlukahlukene yezimpawu ezifana nezinkinga zokulawula umchamo, ubuhlungu, ukukhathala kanye nokucindezeleka .
Udokotela wakho uzokwakha uhlelo lokwelashwa olufanele wena. Ngaphambi kokuqala noma yikuphi ukwelashwa, khuluma nodokotela wakho ngemiphumela emibi engaba khona.
Yini ongayilindela uma uhlala ne-PPMS?
I-PPMS yisimo esingaba nomthelela omkhulu empilweni yakho yansuku zonke. Njengoba izimpawu ziba zimbi kakhulu, kungadingeka wenze izinguquko ezithile ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwakho nokugwema izingozi.
Isibonelo, kungadingeka usebenzise i-walker noma isihlalo sabakhubazekile uma unenkinga yokuhamba. Khumbula, ukusebenzisa lokhu akusikho ukunqotshwa, kuyindlela yokugcina ukuzimela kwakho nokukusiza wenze izinto okudingeka uzenze.
Ukuphila nesifo esingamahlalakhona esinjengalesi kungakulimaza kokubili ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo. Kuvamile ukuzizwa udabukile futhi ukhathazekile. Ngezikhathi ezinjengalezi, ukukhuluma nomeluleki wezempilo yengqondo nokwabelana ngemizwa yakho nomuntu omethembayo kungaba impumuzo enkulu.
I-PPMS ayithinti ngqo isikhathi sokuphila, kodwa izinkinga zesifo zingathinta ikhwalithi yokuphila.
Kufanele ngimbone nini udokotela?
Uma une-PPMS, kubalulekile ukuthi uhlale uxhumana nodokotela wakho njalo. Funa iseluleko sezokwelapha, ikakhulukazi uma:
- Uma izimpawu zakho ziba zimbi kakhulu kangangokuthi zithinta imisebenzi yakho yansuku zonke.
- Uma kukhona ukukhubazeka, ubuhlungu obungapheli noma ukungazweli esithweni.
- Uma uwa futhi ulimele ngenxa yokulahlekelwa yibhalansi, iya e -ETU (Emergency Treatment Unit) ngokushesha.
- Uma imiphumela emibi yokwelashwa inzima kakhulu.
Imibuzo okufanele uyibuze udokotela wakho
- Ingabe ngine-PPMS noma olunye uhlobo lwe-MS?
- Ngingazilawula kanjani izimpawu zami?
- Ingabe ngidinga ukwelashwa ngokomzimba noma ukwelashwa ngokomsebenzi?
