Around what age do symptoms of MS usually appear?
Multiple Sclerosis typically presents its first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 50. MS has been known to present in young children (Pediatric MS) and in significantly older adults. One has about a 13% chance of developing MS symptoms prior to age 20, but once an adult crosses age 50, the likelihood of developing MS drops to about 7%. Studies have shown that 2 to 5% of people diagnosed with MS had symptoms of the disease while they were still children (younger than 18).
Can acupuncture be used to treat MS symptoms?

Can ms be diagnosed on smyptoms alone?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that you "exclude" all other diseases or conditions that might possibly cause the symptoms being experienced. If all of the other symptoms have been excluded, the only remaining choice is MS. The primary means of diagnosing MS is through symptoms. A person needs to experience two distinct symptoms disseminated by space and time. Dissemination of space implies that different physical systems are involved, and dissemination of time means a span of time between the two isolated events. MRIs and lumbar punctures (spinal taps) are used as supporting evidence. They alone do not imply that someone has MS. They are included in the body of evidence which either supports or rejects a diagnosis of MS.

Is it likely that you can suffer with multiple slerosis and get wrongly diagnosed with fibromyalgia?
Yes, the symptoms of MS and Fibromyalgia are very similar and because of this it is possible to be wrongly diagnosed. However, it is just as likely that you might be mis-diagnosed in the other direction. There are several tests that can be done to determine if you have MS, you should see a qualified Neurologist so that they can rule out MS as the cause of your symptoms.
How does heat affect multiple sclerosis?
MS patients who are exposed to heat see a temporary worsening of their symptoms; removal from the heat causes the symptoms to subside. Before MRIs were being used to more conclusively diagnose MS, doctors would sometimes place patients in a hot tub: if their symptoms got worse, and then subsided following removal from the tub, doctors would suspect MS as the cause. It is important to note that the temporary worsening of symptoms caused by heat does not affect disease progression and does not cause earlier onset of disease progression.
