12 Unusual Symptoms of MS

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can affect any part of the central nervous system so people with MS can experience a lot of different symptoms. In this video I share some of the unusual symptoms of MS such as Dysphagia, Dysarthria, Dysesthesia, Dysesthetic itching, Optic Neuritis, Lhermitte’s Sign, Uhthoff’s phenomenon, Pseudobulbar Affect, and more. My hope is to help people understand MS and its symptoms a bit more with this video. I also hope to encourage those with MS to make diet and lifestyle changes to support their health and well-being, seek treatment through physical therapy and to work with their doctors to get medications when appropriate.

Do you have any of these or other unusual symptoms?

Fibromyalgia has these symptoms as well. I have the the symptoms you describe but I have been told I have fibromyalgia.

My very first vertigo from ms before being diagnosed was rolling vertigo. Everything rolled down wards like when the old tvs werent set properly. I lost my hearing then eyesight bladder bowel respiratory action. Then i woke up to bright colours in hospital. I had kaledescopic vision. Ive had it ever since. Classed as legal blindness. But hey i wake up to a rainbow everyday. Im not complaining. Cladrabine has kept me stable for 7 years. Ive completed diplomas bachelors and a masters in medicine with it. The brain fog n fatigues a kicker but i wouldnt change anything for the world.

I have had optic neuritis, but fortunately for me, it went away. I have been diagnosed with dysfonia (loud voice disorder). I have really worked on this because it bothered several people. Muscle weakness causes me pain, but then it goes away again. Once I was at Vons, and thought there was an earthquake, but it turned out to be me. I have lost my sense of taste a few times, and with food tasting metallic, but my sense of smell was perfectly fine. Sometimes I get headaches. I also suffer from vertigo, and dizzy spells. I have many challenges, off and on, at different times, and am very tired.

This video was so timely as I have an assessment at an MS centre this week. I often forget lots of intermittent Until they happen again. Thanks for the reminder 😅😨

I am so glad I came across this video today. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been having several of these symptoms and they are progressing rapidly. I have a new PCP and thankfully she's taking me seriously. Finally someone is willing to schedule the tests needed to confirm a diagnosis. She's also making referrals to other doctors and disciplines to help with my symptoms. Finding your channel has made me feel like I'm not crazy. I'm not a hypochondriac after all. I guess if all the tests come out negative I might have to rethink that statement. For now, you've given me some peace of mind and reminded me of things to discuss with my doctor. Again, I thank you.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm waiting for my lumbal puncture (which went very well) result, although we are pretty sure with my doctor that I have MS, based on my MRI scans and symptoms. It all started with numbness in my hand years ago. I was treated as if I had carpal tunnel syndrome for a long time, and almost even had surgery. Luckily I met a great diagnostician, who became instantly suspicious when I told her about all the things I've noticed and that all the other doctors have neglected. At this point, I experienced dysesthetic itching, clonus, and occasional limb weakness when I went jogging. Now I have a great neurologist, who is really optimistic about the future and possible treatment options. I wish you and everyone all the best in fighting this, and thanks for creating such great content! 🙂

I am 20 years old. I have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. Prior to that, i got sharp shooting pain in my right hand that comes and goes, the doctor treated it with medication but couldn’t find a reason. I have vertigo everytime I change my position which causes me to fall sometimes. Every now and then I get a burning sensation in one of foot which also comes and goes. I get air hunger in summers which makes me feel like I will pass out soon. My blood tests are normal. I went to the doctors and they said I had hyperrflexia and referred me to the specialist who said it is all because of anxiety. I also get random emotional outbursts. I have had anxiety since I was a kid and I know enough to tell this isn’t it. I do think I have MS, but no one will listen

It's like an itching inside the body not outside on the outside of the skin

[krissyls]

❤ I Appreciate you and I Appreciate the information For this sad illness .I am Praying for you And your Precious Family and others that is going through this I have just been Diagnosed with MS in April of this year so I need all of the help I can get! Thanks Krissy Lynn , 48 year's old Lawrenceburg TN

So when trying to explain MS with some chronic relief, I tell friends that if I ever get arrested and they taze me, I will say “Is that all you got? I can beat that!” ⚡️⚡️

[wendychan]

I found with the burning itch that using warm water alleviated it. I didn't need drugs and it eventually cleared up. I think there are a lot of things you can do without having to rely on drugs

[taradecoste]

You're very knowledgeable and great at explaining everything. I was diagnosed with M.S 6 years ago. You must be an M.S Doctor. I'm glad i found your channel. 🙂💖

[themysticmuse]

Wow! Ticking the boxes. 😳😬🤣
I don't know why I find this funny.
I don't really. It's just wow!
I feel like I FINALLY have my answers!!
I fear NOTHING!!
Thank God, right?! 😁🤭😘

[callieblake]

Wow I think this is what I have! I have been referred to a Physiatrist. I am scared. Your video & authentic kindness has eased my fear. Thank you! ❤

[designdestinyonline]

Trigeminal neuralgia is very difficult to manage on your own. I have been struggling with this for over 20 years. I also have MS.
Because I can’t take muscle relaxers for spasms (they shut my bladder down, another sign of Ms). I have learned that benedryl works well with combination of gabapentin and seizure medication. Also Hylands leg cramp medicine which is sold over the counter help for spasticity. Good luck MS warriors

[sbrooke]

I just found your channel and I am so excited to listen to every single one!!!! You are wonderful for making these!! I am still in the throes of figuring out "what is wrong with me".... I said MS right from the onset but we'll see. Doctors simply DO NOT want to listen to me. I've been doing all my own research and going to them with lists and ideas.

[melissagiacalone]

I am so happy I found your channel. I am having many symptoms and do not feel well. Having terrible flare up. Hoping my doctor can get me in sooner for a visit. I am really enjoying you and your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and knowledge. 😊
