Can anyone address personality changes as a symptom of MS? Thanks.

since no replies I am guessing that this is not really a symptom? no one has experienced this at all?

It can be a symptom of MS.  All MS symptoms depend upon where CNS damage has occured.  If there was damage in the frontal lobe, it can cause personality changes.

Also, there can be mild personality changes based on cognitive issues.  Some find they are short tempered, or irritible because concentrattion is difficult.

Also you look at life differently I feel after knowing or being dxed. You hang in there and just stay positive as best you can, it's your greatest weapon against ms
