PDA

View Full Version : I've heard 'MS is a one-sided disease'

Do I believe this? Absolutely not.

My left side is showing muscle loss/control issues, while my right side is showing sensory/nerve issues.

Why is it that so many refer to 1 side as the "MS side"? I can't say I have an MS side, both sides seem to be affected.

My MS isn't one sided. I do have more problems with my left side but I also have pain numbness and tingly on my right side

Same as Limpster here. More problems with left side, but I still have problems with the right.

Mine is more pronounced on my right side, but I have problems throughout. I guess my MS is an equal opportunity disease;)

It's my right side that is affected but I can't feel the sensory on my left side. My vision is also affected.

Ive actually never heard that it is a one sided disease...I have heard that depending on where the lesions are definately affects where your symtoms are...for instance, the brain is a mirror, if most of your symtoms are on the right side, probably your left side will have the weakness/tingling. However, nothing with MS is an absolute science...anything is possible.

This has been doctors and such saying this... least in my experience. No surprise, the ones living MS actually can tell a different story ;)
