MS symptoms
affect between 2 and 150 out of every 100,000 people. What that means is that within the Concorde,
Huntersville and Denver NC area, there are people who suffer from MS, the short
name for the disease called Multiple Sclerosis.
While many
individuals with MS have not been diagnosed, many of them have. In fact, many
local patients suffering from the early symptoms of MS seek medical treatment
from the local neurological offices of NorthEast Neurology located in Concorde,
Huntersville and Denver NC.When MS patients go to Northeast neurology, the
doctors there look for specific complaints. These include numbness and
tingling, balance problems, weakness and fatigue, and vision problems.
Numbness and tingling
Everyone has
experienced the temporary loss of sensation in the hands and feet because of
the way they were sitting, or just because it was cold outside. However, for
people who suffer from MS, abnormal sensations like this are par for the
course. These kinds of needles-and-pins complaints are not in and of themselves
serious; however, they could be indicative of a much more serious condition.
Vertigo and other balance
problems
MS symptoms
of vertigo result from problems that develop inside the part of the nervous
system that manages the ability of the body to stay in balance. Patients with MS
may say that they feel dizzy or that they do not feel quite right on their
feet.
The
problem of vertigo may also make it difficult for patients to walk. In fact,
several MS symptoms can make it difficult for patients to walk. Numbness in the
lower extremities can cause walking to be extremely hazardous. Also, muscle
fatigue and muscle spasms can contribute to walking problems.
Chronic tiredness,
exhaustion and fatigue
Most
people who suffer from MS symptoms complain about chronic tiredness, exhaustion
and fatigue. That fatigue can include muscle fatigue, mental tiredness, wanting
to sleep, or just simply not having the energy to do anything at all. In fact,
the exhaustion experienced by MS patients is not the result of physical
activity. Many sufferers are extremely
tired in spite of sleeping well and getting a lot of rest the night before.

Most people suffering from MS symptoms also have problems with
their sight. In fact, optic neuritis is
