What are the first symptoms of ms?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Various symptoms: Could be movement difficulties, one side or the other, vision, etc. Depends on what neurons (nerves) are effected. Please see you doc and try not to let your mind run away w/you. Peace and good health.

Excellent question: Subtle problems early on can be very misleading and indeed, can confuse docs. Some common early signs include loss of vision in one eye, weakness in legs or arms, electrical shocks on flexing neck, gait imbalance or incoordination, numbness or tingling, vague persistent fatigue, even confusion or disorientation. Mri's are commonly helpful.
