MS videos can be used to educate children on MS using terms and images they are more familiar with. Multiple Sclerosis videos are also perfect for learning bout various aspects of MS on your own. These might be easier for an individual with limited mobility who finds it difficult to hold a book. Sometimes reading information isn’t an option, due to the way MS can affect the eyes. Videos can contain just as much information as a pamphlet or article about MS, but this same info can be transferred to the brain quicker through the use of images, tables, graphs, and diagrams. It’s often much easier to look at an illustration of an MS concept than to try to read the words used to explain it.
The local library might have some videos about MS that can be checked out for viewing. Larger cities often have a Multiple Sclerosis chapter nearby that has information to loan out. Some have both books and videos. These are free for people to use and to educate themselves on MS. The requirement for most chapters is that the person checking the material out must be registered with the lending library and this is free of charge. Most lending libraries will allow videos and other MS material to be borrowed for 3 to 4 weeks. It’s a good idea to check on the length of time before borrowing though, just to make sure you’ll be able to get it returned on time.
Watching Videos about MS Online
Online video sites are another great source to check for videos about Multiple Sclerosis. There could be homemade videos posted to blog sites as well. These can be helpful to people who are looking for information on what to expect with this autoimmune disease. People who blog about their MS experience can usually answer questions on a first-hand basis. It’s often easier for people who are newly diagnosed with MS to hear answers to their questions from a person who has MS, instead of a doctor who only diagnoses the disease.
As long as you have the proper software downloaded to the computer, watching a video posted online shouldn’t be a problem. If there is a missing program, most computers will notify the operator of the issue and how to remedy it. Watching MS videos from home saves time traveling to pick up the video, which can actually be a problem for individuals with limited mobility. Multiple Sclerosis videos are an excellent resource to have available.
