Appendix
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide
range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or
balance.

It's a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be
mild.

In many cases, it's possible to treat symptoms. Average life expectancy is slightly reduced for people
with MS.

It's most commonly diagnosed in people in their 20s, 30s and 40s although it can develop at any age.
It's about 2 to 3 times more common in women than men.

MS is one of the most common causes of disability in younger adults.

Symptoms of multiple sclerosis

The symptoms of MS vary widely from person to person and can affect any part of the body.

The main symptoms include:

 fatigue
 difficulty walking
 vision problems, such as blurred vision
 problems controlling the bladder
 numbness or tingling in different parts of the body
 muscle stiffness and spasms
 problems with balance and co-ordination
 problems with thinking, learning and planning
Depending on the type of MS you have, your symptoms may come and go in phases or get steadily
worse over time (progress).

Muscle spasms, stiffness and weakness

MS can cause your muscles to:

 contract tightly and painfully (spasm)


 become stiff and resistant to movement (spasticity)
 feel weak
Mobility problems

MS can make walking and moving around difficult, particularly if you also have muscle weakness and
spasticity.

You may experience:


 clumsiness
 difficulty with balance and co-ordination (ataxia)
 shaking of the limbs (tremor)
 dizziness and vertigo, which can make it feel as though everything around you is spinning
Pain

Some people with MS experience pain, which can take 2 forms.

Pain caused by MS itself (neuropathic pain)

This is pain caused by damage to the nervous system.

It may include:

 stabbing pains in the face


 a variety of sensations in the trunk and limbs, including feelings of burning, pins and needles,
hugging or squeezing
Muscle spasms can sometimes be painful.

Musculoskeletal pain

Back, neck and joint pain can be indirectly caused by MS, particularly for people who have problems
walking or moving around that puts pressure on their lower back or hips.

Problems with thinking, learning and planning

Some people with MS have problems with thinking, learning and planning, known as cognitive
dysfunction.

This can include:

 problems learning and remembering new things – long-term memory is usually unaffected
 slowness in processing lots of information or multitasking
 a shortened attention span
 getting stuck on words
 problems with understanding and processing visual information, such as reading a map
 difficulty with planning and problem solving – people often report that they know what they
want to do, but can't grasp how to do it
 problems with reasoning, such as mathematical laws or solving puzzles
But many of these problems aren't specific to MS and can be caused by a wide range of other
conditions, including depression and anxiety, or even some medicines.

Mental health issues


Many people with MS experience periods of depression. It's unclear whether this is directly caused by
MS or the result of the stress of having to live with a long-term condition, or both.

Anxiety can also be a problem for people with MS, possibly because of the unpredictable nature of the
condition.

In rare cases, people with MS can experience rapid and severe mood swings, suddenly bursting into
tears, laughing, or shouting angrily for no apparent reason.

Bladder problems

Bladder problems are common in MS.

They may include:

 having to pee more frequently


 having a sudden, urgent need to pee, which can lead to unintentionally passing urine (urge
incontinence)
 difficulty emptying the bladder completely
 having to get up frequently during the night to pee
 recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
These problems can also have a range of causes other than MS.

Bowel problems

Many people with MS also have problems with their bowel function.

Constipation is the most common problem. You may find passing stools difficult and pass them much
less frequently than normal.

Bowel incontinence is less common, but is often linked to constipation.

If a stool becomes stuck, it can irritate the wall of the bowel, causing it to produce more fluid and
mucus that can leak out of your bottom.

Again, some of these problems aren't specific to MS and can even be the result of medicines, such as
medicines prescribed for pain.

Speech and swallowing difficulties

Some people with MS experience difficulty chewing or swallowing (dysphagia) at some point.

Speech may also become slurred, or difficult to understand (dysarthria).
