\nLemmikin positiivisesta vaikutuksesta terveyteen on tutkittu ja kirjoitettu paljon. Olen itse jo sairauden aivan alkutaipaleella kirjoittanut koiran vaikutuksesta olotilaani (teksti t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4<\/a>). El\u00e4imen seura saattaa alentaa korkeaa verenpainetta ja tasoittaa syd\u00e4men ly\u00f6nti\u00e4 sek\u00e4 helpottaa levottomuutta. Unohtaa ei pid\u00e4 virallistakaan terapiakoiratoimintaan esimerkiksi vanhainkodissa ja koiravierailijoiden positiivisia vaikutuksia vanhuksiin. <\/div>\n

\nEnglannink\u00e4\u00e4pi\u00f6terrierimme Bruce on ollut MS-tautini vierell\u00e4kulkijana sairastumisestani saakka ja vaikka meill\u00e4 on aiemminkin ollut koiria, olen itse nyt konkreettisesti kokenut koiran terapeuttisen vaikutuksen.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\nHermokivut<\/h4>\n
\nHermot kivut ovat olleet kes\u00e4st\u00e4 saakka jokap\u00e4iv\u00e4inen oire. Olen joutunut k\u00e4ym\u00e4\u00e4n p\u00e4ivystyksess\u00e4 hakemassa tehokkaampaan l\u00e4\u00e4kitysta, koska kivut \u00e4itiyv\u00e4t niin kovaksi. En ole huomannut hermokipujen suhteen mit\u00e4\u00e4n syy-seuraus suhdetta siihen, mit\u00e4 tai kuinka paljon olen tehnyt p\u00e4iv\u00e4n aikana. Hermokivut ovat kokemistani kivuista ik\u00e4vimpi\u00e4. L\u00e4\u00e4kkeiden lis\u00e4ksi olen pahimmat kivut hengitelly l\u00e4pi ja keskitt\u00e4nyt mielen johonkin muuhun. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 Bruce on ollut erinomainen harhautus kivusta. Koiran paijaaminen ja silittely ruokkii hyv\u00e4nolontunnetta, mik\u00e4 helpottaa omaa kipua paljon – ja koiralla harvoin on mit\u00e4\u00e4n huomion saamista vastaan.<\/div>\n
\nJa aivan kuin hermokivuissa ei olisi tarpeeksi, nyt lis\u00e4kipuna on eilisen laparoskopian j\u00e4ljet. Au, koskee.<\/div>\n

\nMielenterveys<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\nMS-tautiin sairastuminen on ollut t\u00e4h\u00e4nastisen el\u00e4m\u00e4ni rankin asia. Sen vaikutus toimintakykyyni ja varsinkin sen pysyvyys ovat edelleen vaikeita asioita k\u00e4sitell\u00e4. T\u00e4m\u00e4 tauti ei l\u00e4hde ja jossain vaiheessa se saattaa vain jatkaa etenemist\u00e4 (mink\u00e4 arvelen jo tapahtuneen, mutta odotetaan viel\u00e4 pari kuukautta ja l\u00e4\u00e4k\u00e4rin mielipidett\u00e4 asiasta ennen kuin heit\u00e4n edes v\u00e4h\u00e4n kirvest\u00e4 kaivoon). Meid\u00e4n pieni h\u00e4nn\u00e4n heiluttaja, hassuja vinkeit\u00e4 tekev\u00e4, ehdotonta kiintymist\u00e4 osoittava karvaturri on auttanut mielenterveyden kasassa pysymist\u00e4. Bruce on lis\u00e4nnyt hyv\u00e4ntuulisuutta ja naurua meid\u00e4n kotiin, joka ty\u00f6nt\u00e4\u00e4 omia murheita taka-allalle. Liikunnalla on ehdottomasti positiivinen vaikutus mielenterveyteen. Sen olen itsekin todennut. Toimintakyvyn ollessa huonona, ovat ne pienetkin happihyppelyt eli koiran kanssa tehdyt pienet lenkit pirist\u00e4neet mielt\u00e4. Ilman Brucea olisin tuskin niit\u00e4 tehnyt.<\/p>\n

\nOnko sinulla kokemusta lemmikin terapeuttisista vaikutuksista?<\/b><\/div>\n
\n___________________________________________________________________________<\/div>\n
\nSummary in English of “Do pets really have therapeutic effects?”<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThere is quite few studies of pet’s positive effects towards human health. Pets may lower high blood pressure and even heart rate. Not to forget official therapy dogs and their work in old’s people homes and the wonderful work they do there.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nOur English Toy terrier Bruce has been there for me since I got ill with MS. We have had dogs before but now I have really experienced the therapeutic effect of a pet. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nNERVE PAINS<\/i><\/div>\n
\nNerve pains have been my daily symptom. Last summer I even had to go to A&E to get something stronger for when the nerve pains were unbearable despite my usual medication. So far I haven’t noticed any relation with the nerve pains for what I do and when. Nerve pains are the nastiest pain I have experienced so far. On addition for taking nerve pain medication I try to breath through the pain and try to focus my mind to something else. Bruce has been excellent distraction from pain. Cuddling and patting takes mind off the pain.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nMENTAL HEALTH<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBeing diagnosed with MS has been so far the hardest thing to deal with in my life. How it affects my physical ability to function and it’s permanent nature are hard things to cope with. This illness does will not heal and in some point ill will become progressive (which I think has already happened but I’ll wait for few months and dr’s opinion on the subject). Our little tail wagger, who entertains with his funny ways and shows unconditional affection has pushed my negative thoughts in the background. Exercise truly has positive effect to mental health. This is something I too have noticed. When I have not been feeling too great, even the small walks around the block with our pup have cheered me up a bit. With Bruce I doubt I would have even done those little walks. <\/i><\/div>\n
