Severe Weakness In Leg Muscles, Tingling, Confusion, Memory Loss, Shaky Hands And Legs, Spasms In Muscles. Have Crohn S And Arthritis. Signs Of MS?
I have been experimenting severe muscle weakness in legs, I thought it was my arthritis but the weakness is increasing too fast, I have crohnes, arthritis. All of my symptoms lead to MS. My symptoms are as follows--Muscle Weakness, tingleing, lost control of my bladder a couple of times. Confusion and memory loss. I get very shakey hands and legs. Muscle spasms. Thank you TK
I do not think what you describe actually fit not the table of multiple sclerosis. there are specific tests available to test for memory loss and evaluate the intensity and determine the possible sites. It could be retrograde (forgetting what you knew before) or anterograde (forgetting future events), and different sites of the brain are affected under these circumstances. Evaluation is different and management options are also different. Other conditions shall depression in some patients with chronic diseases could lead to temporal memory loss, which fades out with correction of such conditions. I think a complete clinical review, with measurement of electrolytes (especially Calclium and Magnesium blood levels), Vitamins (B complex class and Vitamin D0 and a complete neurologic examination are all compelling.
