What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition affecting the brain and spinal cord. It can cause problems with mobility, vision, balance, and other essential functions. As an autoimmune disease, MS leads the body’s immune system to attack the protective myelin sheath covering nerve fibres, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
Recognising Common Symptoms of MS
The symptoms of MS can vary depending on the specific nerves involved and the severity of the damage. Common symptoms include:
- Tiredness and fatigue.
- Light-headedness or dizziness.
- Unsteadiness or balance issues.
- Muscle spasms and weakness.
- Numbness or tingling sensations.
- Difficulty swallowing.
- Challenges with limb mobility.
- Bowel and bladder dysfunction.
- Vision problems, including double vision or vision loss.
- Memory and cognitive challenges.
- Sexual dysfunction.
Symptoms of MS can be unpredictable, with some individuals experiencing symptoms intermittently, while others may go through long periods of remission. As the disease progresses, symptoms often worsen due to nerve damage. Treatment focuses on slowing disease progression and managing symptoms through medications, therapies, and lifestyle adjustments.
