Quality of life improvement for MS symptoms sufferers

Have you or your loved one been experiencing the following early symptoms of MS (multiple sclerosis)?  


  • fatigue
  • difficulty walking
  • numbness
  • bladder or bowel dysfunction
  • vision problems
  • dizziness or vertigo
  • sexual dysfunction
  • pain
  • cognitive dysfunction;
  • emotional changes
  • depression
  • involuntary tightening or spasm of muscles
If you have then it would be best to visit your trusted Huntersville and Denver NC neurologists to rule out MS. According to  Denver NC neurologists, Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable disorder of the central nervous system that affects the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Essentially, the natural defense system of your body attacks myelin, a fatty substance surrounding and protecting nerve fibers of your central nervous system. MS symptoms are not always easy to identify from other disorders, but a neurology visit is an important first step in making a diagnosis and beginning treatment. 

MS symptoms vary from person to person, but they can be debilitating. A visit to NorthEast Neurology can help patients manage early MS symptoms, and possibly reduce the number of relapses and slow down the course of the disease. Neurologists can prescribe any number of FDA-approved medications to modify the course of the disease and treat symptom flare-ups. When patients go in for a neurology examination, they should discuss every symptom so that their neurologist can plan effective, individualized treatments. Early signs of MS may be frightening and debilitating, but when Denver NC area patients seek help from neurologists at NorthEast Neurology they are on the right track to positive disease management!
