What are the symptoms of Multiple sclerosis?

Answer 1

MS is an autoimmune disease that attacks the nervous system, mainly the structure that covers the neurons, myelin. This doesn't allow proper neural function leading to multiple neurological symptoms. MS usually appears in the thirties, but there have been cases of children with the disease, and is more common in women. It is a degenerative disease with no known cure and many suggests it has a possible heredetary link. Early initial diagnosis is hard to achieve due to the multiple, very general symptoms. It is when symptoms become evident that it's possible to diagnose with proper imaging procedures of the brain and other tools used in diagnosis. In MS, a brain scan will reveal plaques of dyemylination ("myelin corrosion") very characteristic of MS. Treatment is mainly delivered to slow progression and targets the immune system to prevent and suppress the attack to our own neurons.

Sings and symptoms include:

• Muscle or motor symptoms, such as weakness, leg dragging, stiffness, a tendency to drop things, a feeling of heaviness, clumsiness, or a lack of coordination (ataxia).
• Visual symptoms, such as blurred, foggy, or hazy vision, eyeball pain (especially with movement), blindness, or double vision. Optic neuritis-a sudden loss of vision and eye pain-is a fairly common first symptom, occurring in up to 25% of those who develop MS.
• Sensory symptoms, such as tingling, a pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, a bandlike tightness around the trunk or legs, or electrical sensations moving down the back and legs.

Less common early symptoms include:1

• Balance symptoms, such as lightheadedness or dizziness, and a spinning feeling (vertigo).
• Bladder symptoms, such as an inability to hold urine (urinary incontinence) or to completely empty the bladder, or a loss of bladder sensation-an inability to sense that the bladder becoming full until there is a sudden, urgent need to urinate.

Advanced symptoms

As MS progresses, symptoms may become more severe and may include:

• Increased muscle problems, such as weakness, leg dragging, clumsiness, or lack of coordination.
• Stiff, mechanical movements (spasticity) or uncontrollable shaking (tremor), which may make walking difficult. A wheelchair may be needed some or all of the time.
• Pain and other sensory symptoms.
• Incontinence or, less often, an inability to urinate (urinary retention).
• Constipation and other bowel disorders.
• Male erectile dysfunction (impotence) and female sexual dysfunction.
• Cognitive and emotional problems, which are common in people who have had MS for some time.
• Cognitive problems, such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, reduced attention span, or difficulty finding the correct words.
• Emotional symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and anger. A rare symptom is excessive cheerfulness that seems inappropriate.
• Feeling very tired (fatigue). This can be worse if symptoms such as pain, spasticity, bladder problems, anxiety, or depression make it difficult to sleep.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disease that can present with several different systems. These may include numbness, tingling, blurred vision, and loss of balance. The symptoms are caused by damage to the myelin covering of the nerves leading to poor transmission of nerve signals.

Answer 2

There are a large array of symptoms for multiple sclerosis. Some of them happen in areas of your eyes. Which is that you get blurry vision. In the motor area, you have muscle weakness.

Answer 3

The symptoms of multiple sclerosis include numbness, fatigue and disturbances in vision. The symptoms might also include mobility and bladder problems.
