The most usual symptoms of multiple sclerosis are: difficulty seeing or moving your eyes, loss of balance, numbness or tingling sensations (sometimes just a little bit like pins and needles), weakness, dizziness and a headache. MS symptoms may come and go and vary over time with age. People often confuse MS symptoms for those of other conditions and conclude that they are experiencing a stroke. However, these symptoms are very serious and need to be given a good deal of consideration.
The MS pain and fatigue that are experienced can vary greatly in intensity and impact. There are many triggers that can cause a sudden bout of MS pain and fatigue, such as: allergies, stress, excess caffeine or sugar intake, and excessive fatigue. MS attacks the central nervous system, which affects the balance of chemicals and hormones responsible for coordinating all of our body functions. Any changes to these chemicals and hormones can trigger an initial attack of MS pain and fatigue, and then ongoing bouts as the condition worsens. In many cases, when MS symptoms worsen, the disease itself can be the trigger.
MS spasticity can also occur in conjunction with MS pain and fatigue. Spasticity can be due to many factors including: trauma, deformation of the spine, bladder and kidney problems, tumors, inflammation of the joints, and multiple sclerosis. MS spasticity can present as a series of symptoms, or it can develop into a full-blown spasticity episode. A healthcare provider should test for MS spasticity during a physical examination, and if the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient should receive treatment to manage and eventually reverse MS spasticity.
MS pain and fatigue can also be related to several other symptoms. These include: sensory disturbances such as tingling and numbness, difficulty with movement, and difficulty concentrating. Other symptoms can include burning and/or stinging sensations, difficult swallowing, and loss of sexual desire. If your GP, MS nurse or neurologist has ruled out the presence of any of these other symptoms without confirming MS, you may be experiencing MS symptoms that are not MS related. These non-MS related symptoms can be very intense in nature and sometimes it can be hard to determine the difference.
MS pain and fatigue can also occur along with various types of MS symptoms such as weakness and rigidity of the muscles, trouble with performing activities, difficulty with balance and gait, and the inability to think clearly. In addition to these typical MS symptoms, one or more of these non-MS related conditions can appear simultaneously. Non MS pain and numbness can be caused by various conditions or disorders, including: hypothyroidism, pregnancy, menopause, arthritis, muscle cramps, hypoglycemia, migraine headaches, shingles, menopause, thyroid problems, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. The numbness and pain that occur with MS can be very intense and even occasionally unbearable. Therefore, if you are experiencing excessive pain or extreme numbness accompanied by at least one of these other non-MS conditions, it is important to visit your doctor immediately for a correct diagnosis.
MS relapses are common in about 30 % of people with MS. This means that there are relapses happening every day in MS sufferers. The risk of having a relapse is much greater for those who are already severely impacted by MS and have a longer time between relapses. If you have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, you should consider trying one of the many effective treatments available to improve your quality of life and make the most of what you already have.
Some of the treatments for MS symptoms are lifestyle changes such as maintaining a proper weight, quitting smoking and reducing the level of stress in your life. Your doctor may recommend nutritional supplements or suggest an exercise program to help control your MS symptoms. Two main healthcare professionals say that preventing damage to your optic nerve can be done through education, such as seeing a specialist on eye health and using MS screening tools as well as regular eye exams.
Swelling and pain are common MS symptoms. This is due to the inflammation and pain caused by the degeneration of your optic nerves. You may also experience a flicker or an increase in your senses. These symptoms are also common in many other disorders, which is why it’s important to visit your doctor when you start to feel numbness and tingling around your eyes or other parts of your body. Early detection of your MS means faster and more effective treatment.
