Multiple Sclerosis: Recognizing Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis symptoms generally appear between the ages of 20 and 40. The onset of MS may be dramatic or so mild that a person doesn't even notice any symptoms until far later in the course of the disease.
The most common early symptoms of MS include:

* Tingling
* Numbness
* Loss of balance
* Weakness in one or more limbs
* Blurred or double vision

Less common symptoms of MS may include

* Slurred speech
* Sudden onset of paralysis
* Lack of coordination
* Cognitive difficulties

As the disease progresses, other symptoms may include muscle spasms, sensitivity to heat, fatigue, changes in thinking or perception, and sexual disturbances.

yes, so true. It is hard to diagnose. If you or anyone you know has these symptoms, keep checking with doctors, until you have a positive diagnosis and proper care. My uncle-in-law had it, and he lived with it (in a wheelchair) diagnosed from age 40 to death at 78. :) .... take care!
