MS Symptoms are common to people who have the MS disease. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis can be quite similar to other health conditions that affect the central nervous system such as depression or anxiety. MS symptoms can include vision disturbances like ophthalmic glasses or a blurred vision, uncontrollable muscle spasms or loss of muscle control and speech problems.
Vision disturbances and problems with eye-sight usually occur in the first few weeks of MS. During the first few months of MS, vision problems can appear as a flash of lights, glare, blind spots, floaters, starbursts, blind spots, or changes in the shape of objects. These disturbances can be very disturbing to people who have MS because it makes it difficult for them to perform their daily activities properly. Fluid in the eyes and reduced level of vision can result in headaches and double vision. MS first signs also can be accompanied by increased sensitivity to light and decreased sense of smell or taste.
In addition to these first signs of MS, other MS symptoms include motor weakness, clumsiness, decreased balance and coordination, lack of stamina, frequent urination, sleepiness, involuntary leg jerking, numbness in toes and fingers, tingling or itching sensations in extremities, and poor swallowing. Another early sign of MS is the presence of polymyalgia rheumatica, a progressive disease of the nervous system that affects the skin and muscles. Polymyalgia rheumatica causes swelling and pain in the arms, legs, hands, shoulders, hips, and back. This condition can worsen as time goes by and affects the brain and spinal cord that eventually results to MS symptoms.
Another common MS symptom is sexual dysfunction. MS patients may experience decreased sexual drive and impotence. They may also experience problems with erection or maintaining an erection. They may experience decreased libido or inability to achieve orgasm. They may also experience decreased sexual lubrication leading to dry, flaccid sex and unable to reach climax.
Relapses are common among MS patients. Relapses may include relapses of the disease-modifying therapies, infections or injuries, and shock, or changes in the spinal system. These factors may increase the risk of developing MS relapses. Patients experiencing relapses should undergo MRI, CT, MRI angiography, bone scan, and X-ray studies to determine the progression of the disease and the need for MS treatment.
Visual impairment, vision loss, double vision, and decreased visual acuity may also occur with MS. Patients experiencing double vision, age related macular degeneration, and peripheral neuropathy may experience blurred vision. Some symptoms of MS include dyspnea (difficulties with breathing), apnea (no breathing) or decreased consciousness, seizure, fatigue, insomnia, depression, irritability, and facial swelling or rash. Other symptoms that affect the eye include decreased ocular reflexes, increased sensitivity to light, decreased visual acuity and inattention.
The symptoms described above are just a few of the many that affect people with MS. Multiple sclerosis affects the body’s central nervous system. When this occurs, the brain is unable to control muscle movement. As a result, multiple sclerosis patients can have difficulty completing daily activities such as climbing stairs or walking to the bathroom.
MS can be difficult to diagnosis. Because MS affects the body’s neurological functions and can affect almost any part of the body, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly which symptoms are MS and which ones are normal. For this reason, patients should schedule an appointment with their doctor to determine the accuracy of their diagnosis. Once correctly diagnosed, patients can receive the treatments they need to control MS symptoms and prevent the development of secondary conditions, such as depression.
