Each person with MS may have varying symptoms and may come and go or change frequently. Many have found this to be the reason why they actually ignored potential Multiple Sclerosis symptoms for so long, as they could justify many of the symptoms as being a result of leading a busy lifestyle and having a fairly high level of stress.
Also because Multiple Sclerosis symptoms would sometimes be obvious and then just disappear and many have made the mistake of just ignoring it because it wasn't stopping them in their tracks.
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms might include: Loss of co-ordination, extreme fatigue, numbness and pain, pins and needles or altered sensations, loss of bladder or bowel control, weakness of limbs, eye trouble such as seeing double or uncontrolled eye movements, speech difficulties, problems with memory and thinking, emotional difficulties, shaking.
MS Symptoms however vary because it depends what part of the central nervous system is affected, for example Optic nerve, brain or spine.
Additional Multiple Sclerosis symptoms may occur as the disease advances and these may include: fatigue, heat sensitivity and impaired thought processes.
MS fatigue is a common symptom of those with MS and can occur any time of the day despite having sufficient sleep or even having a day that is absent from physically demanding activities.
Sensitivity to heat is another symptom common to those with MS and therefore those with MS need to be mindful of the temperature of their environment and levels of physical activity to ensure their core body temperature keeps cool otherwise physical function tends to slow.
Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms can include impaired mental capacity which occurs in approximately 50% of the people diagnosed with MS and results in a lack of concentration or a decrease in memory. An additional 10% of people with MS have significant mental impairment that affects the persons ability activities of daily living.
