Invisible Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis symptoms are easy to miss. Especially if you don’t know what to look for. So here are some of the signs that could mean MS. IMPORTANT: There are many possible explanations for these symptoms. And none of this information constitutes medical expertise or a diagnosis.

So see your doctor before jumping to conclusions.

Dizziness

Because MS affects the brain, one way that it manifests is in a loss of balance or dizziness. There’s no set pattern for symptoms of multiple sclerosis, so simply feeling a little dizzy on occasion could have other causes.

It’s best to seek a medical professional’s advice if dizziness persists over a long time.

Fatigue

Everyone gets tired from time to time, but an overwhelming sense of exhaustion is one of the most common signs of multiple sclerosis. Just bear in mind that this can also be affected by a lot of other factors, so tiredness alone may not mean that you certainly have this disease.

Numbness

Numbness related to MS involves the loss of sensation in parts of the body, such as arms and legs, which then spreads out slowly over the body over a few days.

Tingling

Much like numbness, a tingling or pins-and-needles sensation may start in one part of the body and slowly spread out from there over the next few days. If this symptom persists, it’s worth checking with your doctor as to what might be the cause.
