10 Causes of Paresthesia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #9: Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a disorder where there is demyelination. This means that the insulating covers of the nerve cells are damaged, leading to disruption of the nervous system’s ability to communicate. This can result in physical, mental, and psychiatric issues.
Patients often experience double vision, blindness, weakness, and coordination problems. There can be episodes of flaring and remission. However, neurological issues often become permanent as the disease advances. There is no cure, but treatment aims to improve patient function and prevent further episodes. Patients with multiple sclerosis often experience chronic paresthesia.
