Multiple Sclerosis Early Symptoms

Question by ♫Blíss♫: Anyone know anything about Multiple Sclerosis? Symptoms?
This might just all be in my head but I’ve been having some symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Mostly in the past year or so. But I am only a 15 year old girl. Could someone my age have it already? I just started to looking up this because, my my right foot started to get really numb and tingly, for no apparent reason . It hurt quite bad. It went away after 15 minutes. Never has that ever happened to me before and I was freaked out. A few months ago I was getting ready for school in the morning and my vision slowly started to fade, until I was completely blind for about, I’m not sure maybe 10 to 5 minutes, But I freaked out so bad I stayed home from school. I used to be able to turn the nob on my shower to almost the hottest it could go and be pretty comfortable, now I can’t put it up half of that or I feel as if my skin is burning. And when I’m in a hot room I get all lightheaded and nauseous. Also I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but I’m a X-Country runner and when I run in the cold or really just running at all, it doesn’t just happen in the cold, but It seems to a lot, that I get horrible pain in my lower legs. It feels like a really deep pain. Like it’s in my bones or something, and it’s a really prickly pain, like needles going into my legs or something. But it makes me sick to my stomach and really makes me not want to run anymore when it happens. Are these just thing’s that can happen to anyone or could it be something different. I just don’t want to make a big fuss over this with my parents if there is nothing to worry about. I just have always thought that there was something wrong with me. Thank you for reading. :]
Also, today I was having muscle spasms in my back, this is kinda a normal thing for me.

Answer by Voelven
It doesn’t sound like multiple sclerosis. For a symptom to be considered MS-related it has to last consistently for at least 24 hours.

From what you have written here, it could sound like an issue with your diet. Are you drinking enough water? Eating healthily? Teenagers your age need to eat properly because your bodies are growing and maturing, add to that that you you are cross-country runner, and it becomes even more important that you take good care of yourself.

I would suggest that you go for a check-up, though, and tell your doctor what you’ve told us.

Question by vwchickadee: Does anyone have good news to share about Copaxone for treatment of MS? Was just prescribed this and I’m a?
little hesitant to start. I’ve been surfing the internet and reading all kinds of horror stories about side effects and reactions to it. It’s probably not good to do that, but I’m curious how it will affect me and am scared to death that I’ll have a severe reaction. I took Avonex for a year and had to stop because I became so suicidal.

Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) is a compound made up of amino acids. These amino acids, which are also found in myelin, are thought to help switch the immune system from causing inflammation around lesions to reducing inflammation.

Answer by Georgie
The exact cause of MS is not known, it is believed to be a autoimmune disease where a persons immune response attacks the myelin sheath in the brain and spinal cord. This abnormal immune response may be triggered by a combination of genetics and environmentally based factors.

What is known is Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a inflammatory disease which attacks the myelin sheath which surrounds & protects nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord, of the central nervous system. MS affects more woman than men.

Question by Snow White: Question about the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis?
This question concerns the mother of my friend. About 10 years ago she went to the doctor who diagnosed her with Multiple Sclerosis. 5 years later, she went to a different doctor who tested her again. This doctor said that based on the results of her new tests and scans he doesnt see any indications of her having Multiple Sclerosis, and since her primary tests and scans went missing, he couldnt determine what her condition was when she went to her first doctor.

Now my question is this: is it possible that she did have MS but that it cleared up, and thats why the doctor didn’t find a trace of it? Or did the first diagnosis have to be incorrect since the second tests and scans didn’t show any signs o MS?

Best answer:

Answer by lf
There is no cure for MS and it doesn’t just “get better”, unfortunately. It’s an autoimmune disorder that affects the protective sheath that covers the nerves.

Her first diagnosis must have been incorrect, thankfully. That’s a huge bullet to dodge.

I hope she’s feeling well, now.

There’s this woman I met today and she was in a wheel chair. I asked why she was in a wheel chair and she said it was because of her disease. I asked her what it was and I’m pretty sure she said MS but does MS enable your ability to walk? If not, what might she have said?
I’m serious about this.

Answer by Michael O
MS is multiple sclerosis, a disease of the brain that results in nerve damage. Sometimes it’s progressive and results in great disability but not always.
