Twelve Unusual Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can affect any part of the central nervous system so people with MS can experience a lot of different symptoms. In this video I share some of the unusual symptoms of MS such as Dysphagia, Dysarthria, Dysesthesia, Dysesthetic itching, Optic Neuritis, Lhermitte’s Sign, Uhthoff’s phenomenon, Pseudobulbar Affect, and more. I hope to help people understand MS and its symptoms a bit more with this video. I also hope to encourage those with MS to make diet and lifestyle changes to support their health and well-being, seek treatment through physical therapy and work with their doctors to get medications when appropriate.
