What are the beginning symptoms of multiple sclerosis? Is trouble swallowing one of them?

Answer by  winnieslo (132)

The initial symptoms of MS can be so vague that diagnosis difficult. Migrating muscle weakness and spasm, and peripheral numbness and tingling are often the earliest manifestations. Extreme fatigue is usually an early complaint. Symptoms are frequently made worse by heat. Dysphagia is possible but is usually a later symptom.

Trouble with swallowing or dysphagia is indeed a symptom that about half of all MS patients experience. Other symptoms can include vision problems, incontinence, muscle pain, weakness and memory problems.

There are many symptoms of multiple sclerosis, including blurry vision, dizziness, numbness, a tingly feeling in various body parts, loss of balance and feeling tired very easily. Trouble swallowing is also a symptom of mutliple sclerosis, but this is not an all encompassing list. Going to your doctor to get diagnosed is a smart choice before self diagnosing yourself.
