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).

My Eye twitches and your muscles twitch randomly And your coordination is off What is that?

It depends on how long this has been occurring, your age and the severity of your symptoms. There could be some neurological involvement, including the possibility of multiple sclerosis or a tumor. If this does not improve, it is important to have a physician do a complete examination. Check your insurance to see if you need a referral to a neurologist, as that is the best place to start. Otherwise, you may need to see your GP to refer you to a specialist. Do it sooner, than later.
