Disseminated sclerosis. Women are
more prone to the disease as
compared to men and as far as age is
concerned, the people pertaining to
age group of 20-30 years have a greater tendency for the same as compared to others. MS
symptoms are a lot in number because the central nervous system, which comprises of brain and
spinal cord, control the function of whole of the body. So, in case, any damage occurs to them,
almost every part of the body would get affected.
The symptoms may be there from weeks to months and they may subside on their own.

General weakness in the body would be there because of the weakness in the muscles. There would
be difficulty in walking and there would also be problem in maintaining the balance and
equilibrium of the body. Movement in the arms and feet also becomes problematic and the person
may have tremors as well. Eyes also show some of the common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

hurting after short duration if some object is seen continuously. Double vision can also be there.

the urinary system become weak leading to leakage of urine and stools and that is why, the person

Spasm of the muscles is again a common symptom as every muscle derives its nerve supply from
the nerves of brain and spinal cord. So there is severe pain including pain in the muscles which
supply the face.
