What are some of the common signs and symptoms of neurological disease?
• Persistent or sudden onset of headache (one that changes, presents differently or is progressive) • Loss of feeling/numbness/tingling (pins and needles) • Pain which radiates from the neck or back into the arms/hands or legs/feet • Weakness or loss of muscle strength • Sudden loss of sight; double vision or blurred vision • Memory loss • Impaired mental ability; confusion • Diminished or loss of coordination • Muscle rigidity • Tremors or seizures This list is not all-inclusive, and patients often have a very individualized presentation, with differing combinations of symptoms. Additionally, symptoms of nervous system disorder may resemble other medical conditions, and proper diagnosis must be confirmed. Disorders of the nervous system are sometimes very complex; therefore, always consult your physician to determine a diagnosis.
