For instance, if you have problems with motor function and mobility, it might interfere with job performance. Bladder issues affect self-confidence and discourage many people attending social functions. 

Talk to a doctor about any symptoms to discuss possible treatment options. People suffering from MS also benefit from mental health counseling and treatment. Many secondary symptoms can be treated, although the goal of treatment will be to address the primary symptoms first, in hopes of preventing secondary complications. 

Diagnosing MS 

If you experience symptoms of MS, it's important to see your physician immediately because early diagnosis and treatment can slow the progression of the disease. 

When you visit your physician, he or she will begin by reviewing your symptoms and asking about family medical history. The physician will ask you a series of questions, perform a physical examination and may refer you to a specialist.
