MS symptoms are sometimes unpredictable and variable. No two patients have the same symptoms, and every patient’s symptoms may vary over time. One patient may experience just a few of their symptoms, while another patient experiences several more. What is common in some patients is that when they experience multiple symptoms that affect their quality of life, they seek medical help. MS affects millions of Americans each year, but until a person experiences a myriad of symptoms, they have no way of knowing what they might be suffering from.
Most MS symptoms start to show up after age 50, but they can flare up at any time. When the brain does not process information correctly, it can create problems with the nerves, which then send signals to the rest of the body. The MS numbness and tingling that people often experience as a result of MS can be caused by different things. Sometimes it is the result of low blood levels; other times it is a sign of a chemical imbalance in the brain.
MS weakness can either be widespread or localized. In order for MS symptoms to be properly diagnosed, healthcare professionals must isolate the areas of weakness in a patient’s body. The numbness and tingling that are part of many MS symptoms can be found in more than one place on a person’s body. Because there are so many areas that MS sufferers’ body can hit, it is important for healthcare professionals to carefully examine each area in order to pinpoint specific weaknesses in the patient.
A few MS symptoms that are found in a large number of MS sufferers include difficulty focusing, blurred vision, and loss of balance and coordination. Blurred vision is one of the most easily confused MS symptoms. It is the difference between a blurred vision and seeing double or triple images. If the MS sufferer is having blurred vision without losing their peripheral awareness, this is a good sign. Another symptom of MS that can lead people to think that they are experiencing blurred vision is loss of balance or coordination. With blurred vision, the sufferer may find that they are picking up pieces of objects while speaking or moving their head.
MS symptoms that may include depression can also accompany weakness. MS depression is much more common than most people think and is very treatable. MS weakness that accompanies depression can lead to risky behavior such as driving dangerously and even committing suicide. MS weakness may also include a risk factor for suicide if depression is not treated.
MS symptoms that may include pain and/or swelling are something that almost everyone with MS experiences. However, for some MS sufferers, the pain and/or swelling can be so bad that it disrupts daily living. MS pain and swelling can affect every part of the body, but the feet and legs are perhaps the most common area affected. Walking, however, is still something that most people with MS do on a regular basis. When an MS patient is in pain or suffering from an infection, walking is something that they can no longer do.
MS relapses are another MS symptom that can make it difficult for a person to live their life to the fullest. MS relapses are defined as returning to the same activity or setting after an extended period of time when the patient experienced an absence. MS relapses can occur several times a year. However, they can also happen suddenly. MS relapses can also occur along with other symptoms such as pain, a change in the skin or an increase in the risk of infection.
MS is a chronic disease that can have a profound effect on the lives of those who suffer from it. MS symptoms can include severe pain, inflammation, loss of balance and movement, depression, memory loss and even suicidal thoughts. MS can affect anyone, even if you were once a healthy person. MS symptoms are very difficult to live with but understanding the neurological symptoms of multiple sclerosis can go a long way toward helping those who are living with MS deal with the disorder.
