MS Symptoms: Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis symptoms
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.
Symptoms of M.S.- Most common Multiple Sclerosis symtoms
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 symptoms of M.S. The presence of some of these
symptoms may have other explanations, so be sure to report them to a
health care professional and let them conduct a proper diagnosis of
Primary progressive Multiple sclerosis symptoms.
