Former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia's wife Seema Sisodia, who is suffering from an autoimmune disorder, was admitted to a hospital on Tuesday. Sources said she was hospitalised after her condition deteriorated.
This is the third time in the past few weeks that Seema Sisodia, 49, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, has been hospitalised. She was admitted to the neurology department of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in late April.
“As per the doctors, Seema Sisodia is slowly losing control over her body due to the progression of the disease. She has been admitted to the hospital for further treatment and management,” sources said. According to reports, she has been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. Her symptoms are reportedly worsening and her condition is becoming critical. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that causes the immune system to attack the protective covering of nerve fibres, resulting in communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. Over time, this can lead to a gradual loss of control over the body.
According to sources, as a result of her condition, Sisodia’s wife is currently showing symptoms which include reduced mobility, loss of balance with increased risk of falls, as well as bowel and bladder control problems. MS eventually leads to loss of muscle control, slowly taking away patient’s ability to move, walk or talk.
