MS Symtoms: Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis symtoms

 

What Is Primary Progressive M.S.?

Multiple sclerosis is a nerve disorder caused by destruction of the insulating layer surrounding neurons in the brain and spinal cord. This insulation, called myelin, helps electrical signals pass quickly and smoothly between the brain and the rest of the body. When the myelin is destroyed, nerve messages are sent more slowly and less efficiently. Patches of scar tissue, called plaques, form over the affected areas, further disrupting nerve communication. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis occur when the brain and spinal cord nerves no longer communicate properly with other parts of the body. Multiple sclerosis causes a wide variety of symptoms and can affect vision, balance, strength, sensation, coordination, and bodily functions.

Symtoms of M.S.- Most common Multiple Sclerosis symptoms

M.S. common symtoms can affect almost every system of the body. There may be vision problems, emotional disturbances, speech disorders, convulsions, paralysis or numbness of various regions of the body, bladder disturbances, and muscular weakness. M.S. symtoms vary greatly between different individuals. In some patients, the multiple sclerosis symptoms remit and return, sometimes at frequent intervals and sometimes after several years. In others M.S.progression continues at a steady progression.

Here are some comon symtoms of M.S.  If you have one symptom, it is not necessarily an indicator that you have MS. No one will have all of the symptoms at the same time, but over the course of the disease an individual may experience many of them. Keep in mind that every case of MS is different, and some symptoms can mimic other diseases or problems.

Though everyone has different ways of describing experiences, the following is a list of commonly used terms for multiple sclerosis symptoms from Beth Ann Hill’s helpful resource Multiple Sclerosis Q and A:

Psychic Advice
A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds.
His Personal Psychic Advisor tells him: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."
The frog is thrilled, "This is great!
"Will I meet her at a party?" he croaks.
"No," says the psychic, "in biology class."
High school classmate
While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which bore his full name!!!
Suddenly, I remembered that a tall, handsome boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 40 years ago!!
Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was too old to have been MY classmate.
After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended the local high school.
"Yes!!!!" he replied.
"When did you graduate?" I asked.
He answered, "In 1944!!!"
"Why, you were in my class!!!!" I exclaimed.
He looked at me closely, and then asked, "What did you teach?!!!"
