Signs and symptoms of MS
Multiplesclerosis symptoms can manifests itself usually through neurological problems, but can also
affect many different parts of a body, as well as a mental and psychiatric
state of a person. Even though signs and symptoms can vary, they often include
motor, autonomic and visual issues.

Secondary progressive ms
Almost all ms patients that suffer from Relapsing-remitting
ms, eventually come to the next stage of a disease which is secondary progressive ms. During SPMS multiple sclerosis starts to progress more steadily,
but that doesn’t have to mean it’s going to get worse faster.
Usually all patients diagnosed with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis have difficult and often very often problems with urinary tract, walking, balance, vision and many others.

SPMS symptoms and treatment
During secondary progressive ms symptoms of this stage of
multiple sclerosis can be controlled and reduced.
As the disease progresses, it causes damage and loss of
nerves, which is the reason for the change in mainly in treatment for secondary progressive ms.
Tremors are a common problem of multiple sclerosis patients. These uncontrollable shakings can affect a few different body parts, usually
limbs. They can be more or less severe, noticeable only by a person experiencing them, or visible by others as well.

Diagnosing multiple sclerosis
In most cases, it's very hard to diagnose Ms, at first and many other conditions tend to mimic it, which is why approximately 10% of people are wrongly diagnosed with this disorder. Brain infection, multiple strokes, blood vessel inflammation, high-stress levels and vitamin deficiency are all candidates to be initially mistaken for multiple sclerosis by doctors.
How is ms diagnosed? Which symptoms of Ms can be diagnosed first?
One specific test that would accurately show whether or not a person suffers from multiple sclerosis doesn’t exist. Neurologists use a numerous of different tests and ways in order to confirm the diagnose. For all potentially patients, very important is diagnosing sings and symptoms of Ms, after the questionnaire process, come neurological tests, which are also important. Using imaging tests such as MRI allows a more detailed presentation of the brain and spinal cord, showing any irregularities, if present. MRI is most often used when multiple sclerosis is suspected because it gives a view of any deeper inflammation. However, on about 5% of multiple sclerosis patients, this test will show negative results because their brain lesions will not be visible this way. Another problem is that people with high blood pressure or diabetes can have similar MRI results.
A spinal tap for ms is another test that can be used in Multiple sclerosis and diagnosis. Evoked potentials test is an electrical nerve test, which helps a doctor see if the parts of the brain responsible for sight, touch and hearing are affected. Even though blood test can’t show signs of multiple sclerosis, it can help eliminate conditions that look like multiple sclerosis, which is why it is sometimes recommended.
