==Overview==
The most common [[symptoms]] of multiple sclerosis include: [[Fatigue]], [[mood]] problems, [[spasticity]], [[bowel]], [[bladder]] dysfunction, [[cognitive impairment]], [[Ophthalmoplegia|eye movement problems]], heat sensitivity, [[incoordination]], [[pain]], [[sexual dysfunction]], [[Sleep disorders|sleep disorder]], [[vertigo]], and [[visual loss]].

First common symptoms of MS disease are optic neuritis, diplopia, sensory or motor loss, vertigo and balance problems. In young adult eye and sensory problems are prominent while in older patients we see motor problems more often.<ref name="pmid2917275">{{cite journal |vauthors=Weinshenker BG, Bass B, Rice GP, Noseworthy J, Carriere W, Baskerville J, Ebers GC |title=The natural history of multiple sclerosis: a geographically based study.

Overview

The most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include: Fatigue, mood problems, spasticity, bowel, bladder dysfunction, cognitive impairment, eye movement problems, heat sensitivity, incoordination, pain, sexual dysfunction, sleep disorder, vertigo, and visual loss.

History and Symptoms 

History

Patients with Multiple sclerosis may have a positive history of:

  • African Americans, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese and Filipinos ethnic [10]

NOTE: McDonald criteria for a MS attack is a symptom cause by demyelinating event in theCNS, lasting more than 24 hours. There should be no fever or sign of infection.[13] First common symptoms of MS disease are optic neuritis, diplopia, sensory or motor loss, vertigo, and balance problems. In young adult eye and sensory problems are prominent while in older patients we see motor problems more often.[14]

Common Symptoms

The most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include:

  • Fatigue: Fatigue is seen in almost 80% of MS patients. They commonly feel exhausted and out of energy. We can see fatigue exacerbation before acute attacks in MS and for a while after that.[15] The etiology of this symptom is poorly understood.[16]

Less Common Symptoms

  • Heat sensitivity: Patients with MS disease are more sensitive to heat. A slight increase in body temperature of these patients will lead to worsening of their signs and symptomss.[34]
  • Vertigo: Benign positional paroxysmal vertigo is the most common cause of vertigo in MS patients. In the course of the disease, about 30-50% of patients experience this symptom.[39]
