Symptoms Of Multiple Sclerosis?

Multiplesclerosis is an immune-mediated disorder that affects the central nervous system of a person’s body. In this disorder, a person's immune system, which is designed to keep the body healthy and immune from diseases, damages the myelin sheath of nerve fibres. The myelin sheath is originally a safety cover which helps in successful nerve conduction. 

When this protective cover is damaged, the injury results in dysfunction in the brain and spinal cords. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are unpredictable and they change in person to person based on the intensity of the disease. Below are the most common symptoms multiple sclerosis patients may experience.

Vision Impairment

Problems in healthy vision are one of the most common symptoms of this disorder. When the disease affects brain cords, the first organs to be impacted are eyes. The patient does not necessarily experience the loss in vision immediately. But the changes are gradual. The patient may feel pain while looking up or to one side.

Fatigue and Weakness

One of the major and most prominent symptoms of multiple sclerosis is obscure fatigue. A person may suddenly start feeling weakness in his/her body. This fatigue and feeling of tiredness usually last for more than 3 months. This chronic fatigue is generally first experienced in legs by most patients.

Pain and Muscle Cramps

Majority of patients experience unexplained chronic pain as early symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Stiffness in muscles and sudden cramps are often followed by painful jerking movements. These pain and spasms most commonly occur in legs and back.

Tingling and Numbness

When there is an irregularity in the signals sent by the brain through the nervous system, one may feel a tingling sensation in the face, arms, legs, or fingers. At times there might be no signals at all. It causes numbness in the limbs as they do not function properly in the absence of instructions from the brain.

Dizziness/ Vertigo

Vertigo is one of the most common symptoms multiple sclerosis patients may have to deal with. The dysfunctionality of the nerve system results in dizziness. The patient may feel as if everything in his/her surroundings is spinning. It may further result in difficulty in focusing.

Unsteadiness/ Instability

Similar to dizziness, the patient may feel trouble in maintaining balance. Unsteadiness and instability are one of the symptoms of MS. Patients of MS may have problems in maintaining natural gait and may not be able to walk without support.

Sexual Dysfunction

While there is a lack of signals passed to organs from the brain, you may find difficulty in sexual drives. The problems in the central nervous system causes issues with sexual arousal.

Bowel and Bladder Problems

Along with sexual dysfunction, a person may experience issues with bladder and bowel movements. Holding and resisting urine becomes difficult for the patient. The symptoms may include the uncontrollable urge of urination and frequent urination. The patient may also suffer from constipation, indigestion, and loose motions.

Along with above-mentioned symptoms, the patient of multiple sclerosis may develop memory issues. Retaining information and remembering stuff can be difficult for the patients. Other symptoms may include shortened attention span, irritability, mood swings, stress etc. The symptoms of MS may develop gradually over time. One must consult a doctor if he/she finds themselves suffering from the above symptoms.
