  About MS

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults. Around 100,000 people in the UK have MS.

MS is the result of damage to myelin - a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system

 
 
When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.
For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

What symptoms can MS cause?

MS can cause a wide variety of symptoms. Many people experience only a few symptoms and it is unlikely that anyone will develop them all.

People can have different symptoms at different times and, although some are very common, there is no typical pattern that applies to everyone.

The symptoms listed below can also have other causes, so even if someone has a diagnosis, it should not always be assumed they are all due to the MS. If they have another cause, the treatment might also need to be different.

This list is for information only – it isn’t a comprehensive checklist of symptoms that people with MS experience. Some are more common than others.

If these symptoms occur, tell your doctor or health care team so they can help find the cause and best way to manage them. Drug treatments as well as help from specialists, like physiotherapists and occupational therapists, can help people manage many MS symptoms very effectively.
