Symptoms6
- The specific symptoms and severity of syringomyelia can vary greatly from one person to another. (rarediseases.org)
- It is important to note the highly variable nature of syringomyelia and to realize that affected individuals can have different sets of symptoms and a different rate of progression (or no progression of the disease at all). (rarediseases.org)
- In most people with multiple sclerosis, periods of relatively good health alternate with episodes of worsening symptoms, but over time, multiple sclerosis gradually worsens. (msdmanuals.com)
- Usually, doctors diagnose multiple sclerosis based on symptoms and results of a physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging. (msdmanuals.com)
- Most people with multiple sclerosis have periods of relatively good health (remissions) alternating with periods of worsening symptoms (flare-ups or relapses). (msdmanuals.com)
- This publication provides in-depth information about multiple sclerosis, including common symptoms, diagnosis, and available therapies. (nih.gov)
Nerve1
- In multiple sclerosis, patches of myelin (the substance that covers most nerve fibers) and underlying nerve fibers in the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord are damaged or destroyed. (msdmanuals.com)
Nerves1
