Overview
History and Symptoms
First common symptoms of MS disease are optic neuritis, diplopia, sensory or motor loss, vertigo and balance problems. In young adult eye and sensory problems are prominent while in older patients we see motor problems more often.[1]
common symptoms
fatigue:
Fatigue is seen in almost 80% of MS patient. They commonly feel exhausted and out of energy. The etiology of this symptom is poorly understood.[2]
mood problems:
Psychiatric disorders especially depression is common and can be seen in almost 50% of MS patients.[3]
Spasticity:
Damage to the descending motor pathways in MS can increase muscle tone and rigidity in 75% of MS patients.[4]
