Fatigue is an important symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS) and may be the earliest recognizable sign of the disease. Most patients with MS report fatigue as a very significant symptom. However, the intensity of fatigue varies from one patient to another. It is a symptom that is often related to depression and imbalance in body function.
Fatigue is a symptom of progressive and relapsing-remitting forms of MS. Symptoms of fatigue may be related to the impairment of muscle functions. In addition, it can be caused by damage to the myelin that helps to carry signals from the brain to the spinal cord. Symptoms of fatigue increase with physical strain, age, or long periods of inactivity. Regardless of the cause of fatigue, a specific therapeutic approach is required to combat it.
One of the most common symptoms of fatigue is tingling. These sensations are often found in the face, arms, and trunk. Some people may also experience numbness. When they occur, the symptoms affect the way they see the world. They may be temporary or permanent. If they are temporary, they usually go away on their own. But if they are permanent, they can be very uncomfortable. During fatigue, double vision may also occur. Usually, the double vision will disappear after a period of rest.
Double vision is another symptom of the nerve damage that occurs in the brain during MS. Typically, the condition affects the optic nerve. People with MS report reduced levels of melatonin, a hormone that is produced by the body to regulate sleep. The condition can be triggered by inflammation.
Another symptom of MS is pain. Pain increases with the length of the disease. Usually, the pain is more prevalent in women than men. During fatigue, a person with MS may feel as if their body is fighting a virus all the time. This is a result of inflammation in the brain.
Interestingly, a person with MS can experience erectile dysfunction. Studies indicate that around 70 percent of MS patients have this symptom during the first year of diagnosis. Besides erectile dysfunction, women can also suffer from spasticity of their lower limbs.
Spastic paresis of the lower limbs is one of the most common manifestations of MS in later stages. Patients with this symptom have difficulty walking and can limit their ability to run or to perform normal hygiene routines. As a result, patients with this symptom are not able to get the most out of their lives.
Other common MS symptoms include urinary incontinence, headaches, pain, and fatigue. Women tend to experience more frequent and painful spasms of their limbs than men. Men are more likely to experience sexual dysfunction, such as ejaculation disorders. Symptoms of MS can be controlled by physical therapy. Physical exercise can help improve muscle tone and balance in patients with MS.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. The central features of the disease are demyelination of the brain and impairment of muscle function.
