MS symptoms are very unpredictable and variable. No two individuals have the same symptoms, and therefore every individual of symptoms may vary over time. One person may experience just one or two of their possible symptoms while another individual experiences a plethora of them. Therefore you must be sure that you know what to look for so that you can recognize the different symptoms so you can seek medical assistance for yourself or a loved one.
The MS symptoms that occur with depression are also very varied. This is because depression affects everyone differently. However there are commonalities between depression and neurology. Many times when an individual has depression they may exhibit signs of neurological weakness as well. Sometimes they may have difficulty concentrating, being easily irritable, losing interest in things they once found enjoyable, have memory loss or difficulty focusing, feel hopeless or have feelings of extreme sadness and hopelessness. Some individuals may also experience fatigue and exhaustion, feel sick frequently or have headaches, muscle pain or muscle tension, have problems with their vision, feel restless, or have difficulty falling asleep.
Another way to look at MS symptoms is to see if the body shows signs of inflammation. Inflammation is actually considered a normal response to many types of neurologic disease. When an individual has MS, there is a lack of adequate blood flow throughout the body. Because the body doesn’t have adequate blood flow; myelin sheath thickens, causing numbness, tingling, or pain. Many individuals with MS have found that they develop neurological problems that result in the development of these MS symptoms.
Some of the more common MS symptoms that affect the bladder are incontinence and bladder control. People who have MS have a problem with their bladder control. When they experience incontinence, they may find that they have trouble walking, have problems with their bowel movements, have trouble sitting down, or have a hard time going to the bathroom. These individuals also often experience bladder weakness and this can be another difficult challenge to MS sufferers.
Another one of the MS symptoms that affects the lower extremities is poor walking. Individuals with MS have trouble walking because of muscle weakness and tightness. A MS nurse will check for signs of tenderness or difficulty walking, using a checklist. If the MS symptoms are significant, the neurologist may need to do a physical examination of the legs as well as the arms and the trunk to rule out any neurological conditions.
If you’re experiencing MS symptoms that appear to be of a neurological nature, your neurologist will most likely perform a neurological exam. The purpose of this exam is to rule out any potential neurologic issues that could be causing your MS symptoms. Your doctor will likely monitor your oxygen, muscle tone, vision, speech, bladder control, balance, gait, reflexes, movement and muscle tone as well as checking for numbness in the limbs.
MS relapses are another reason why people may have MS symptoms that go undetected. MS relapses can occur for a number of reasons. It may include a reaction to a drug that was prescribed to you, a medication your body is now adjusting to or it may include a complication of another disease you already have. In some cases, MS relapses may include a sudden loss of sensation or muscle weakness or an attack that leaves you limping or unable to walk. MS relapses may also occur as part of a secondary progressive MS disorder and occur after an individual has experienced an episode of exacerbation.
MS symptoms vary from person to person, but everyone with MS should have regular healthcare assessments to help ensure proper management. Some common MS healthcare assessments included urinalysis, bone density, blood pressure and fasting blood count. If you have any of these symptoms it is recommended you see your doctor for an assessment and to learn about ways you can help keep yourself healthy.
