9 Signs and Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

1. Numbness
MS typically strikes the nerves in the brain and spinal column first and foremost. So patients notice numbness when the body isn’t receiving signals from the brain. Tingling and numbness may be felt in areas such as the face, arms, legs, and upper extremities like the fingers.

2. Memory Loss
Cognitive impairment will affect about 50-percent of MS patients, with patients suffering from issues like memory loss, disorganization, inability to focus, and severely reduced attention spans.

3. Vision Issues
Another early warning sign of MS is blurred vision due to the fact that the disease can cause inflammation in the optic nerve (a condition called optic neuritis), resulting in deteriorating vision issues—such as blurred vision or pain, double vision, color blindness, or loss of contrast in 1 or both eyes.

4. Bladder Issues
Incontinence and urinary urgency can often result in the early stages of MS, with about 80-percent of patients suffering complaining of the constant feeling to urinate, the need to urinate more frequently, and insomnia due to loss of urinary control.

5. Muscle Spasms
MS will often cause chronic pain originating in the leg and back muscles and joints, causing stiffness, involuntary muscle spasms, and painfully embarrassing jerking motions.

6. Vertigo
MS also affects coordination and balance, resulting in dizziness, lightheadedness, and nauseating vertigo if a person tries to stand up too suddenly or get up quickly from a seated position.

7. Depression
Severe depression is often linked to MS pain. The lack of control over your body and the constant pain can often lead to irritability, mood swings, and moments of uncontrollable crying and laughing (a condition known as the Pseudobulbar Affect).

8. Fatigue
The majority of MS patients also complain of the sudden onset of fatigue (staring in the legs and lower extremities), which leaves them completely drained of energy. This exhaustion will worsen as the nerves gradually deteriorate within the spinal column.

9. Sexual Dysfunction
Lack or total loss of sexual arousal, particularly for males with MS, will occur due to the fact that sexual stimulation originates in the central nervous system. MS affects the nerve pathways directly related to healthy sexual function.
