Understanding Multiple Sclerosis and Skin Infections
A letter from a reader describes possible MS symptoms in a 32 year old with blurred vision, facial and limb pain, and notes no tests yet. Dr Donohue explains MS features, stresses examination and testing, and highlights therapies to help manage the condition. A second reader asks about cellulitis, clarified as a skin infection treated with antibiotics, not contagious after cure, with checks for underlying conditions. A third reader asks if high triglycerides with normal cholesterol require care. Dr Donohue says triglycerides are less linked to heart disease than cholesterol, and if other tests are fine, normal life can continue.
