15 Most Common Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

Numbness

Feelings of tingling or numbness in the body, face, or specific limbs (legs and arms) are also common for those people with multiple sclerosis. The intensity can range from mild to severe, which eventually interferes with your ability to use affected body parts. For example, numb feet might make it difficult for you to walk, while numb hands will keep you from performing some basic activities like holding objects, dressing, or writing. When experiencing these symptoms, you should be careful when chewing or eating because you might unwittingly bite your tongue or mouth. Currently, there are still o medications to alleviate numbness. Fortunately, most cases aren’t disabling and can remit themselves. [2]
