Q: Multiple Sclerosis symptoms
asked by: DoctorQuestion on May 19th, 2008
Does this sound like MS? I have ten of the fifteen "super symptoms" for autoimmune troubles and I've become clumsy - it seems to be the only one that fits.

Multiple Sclerosis Answer A4150
Most of your symptoms are not due to any neurological disorder but to your mental disorder(s) and to the other non-neurological disorders. You have neurological symptoms that can be met in multiple sclerosis but you lack one very important characteristic of MS-symptoms and that is the episodic occurrence and disappearance of the symptoms. Even if symptoms were typical for MS you would need further diagnostic procedures to confirm or exclude MS and these are: MRI-scan of the brain, evoked potentials, and liquor examination.
