James Eckburg and MS: History of MS
I would first like to state that Multiple Sclerosis
is very different diseases to treat and diagnose.
Only a few human diseases
can be followed with certainty as to when they first surfaced to affect people.
There had an index or a first case
for all the diseases that have had.
We as human genetics evolved and people reacted to their environments.
There are individuals that are described in the Bible
probably that suffered from epilepsy,
there are paintings on tomb walls
that show ancient Egyptians
with withered or atrophic limbs
that could have well been caused by polio.
After looking at skeletal remains
of early humans proved the existence of various bone diseases.
So they can say at least minimal evidence
exists for their presence in early recorded history or even human prehistory.
The reason that Multiple Sclerosis is different
is because it affects only the central nervous system (CNS),
the brain and the spinal cord which decay soon after death.
Multiple Sclerosis is a relatively uncommon,
highly variable,
and unpredictable illness
that probably would not have been recognized
as a specific disease and described with precision in ancient writings.
MS could have afflicted
early humans even their migration out of Africa.
The MS more likely
that the condition first appeared in Northern Europe,
as in villages of the Vikings in Scandinavia,
MS is most commonly
noted in the descendants of these populations.
The MS. is seldom identified in Asians or the modern Africans.
MS can only be traced back to only the 14th century Ad,
where there are cases
and records that can conform to our modern concepts of MS.
One of the early cases that they thought
to be MS was that of Lidwina of Schiedam,
Holland, she was born on April 18, 1380.
She was a teenager
and developed a various acute neurologic symptoms that gradually improved.
Than as a young adult
she was said to have violent shooting pains in her teeth.
These could have been symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia,
a condition now commonly recognized in people with MS.
Overtime her condition progressed,
and she became bedridden
and had difficulty swallowing.
Her disease attracted considerable public notice,
and many physicians
and nobles were consulted to see if they could give a reason for her sickness.
She would experience occasional periods of improvement than get sick again.
