What are the early signs and symptoms in most patients with ms?

Symptoms can be: Vague: painful blindness, odd sensations of the body, weakness, bowel/bladder changes, etc. However, i could make an endless list of other medical disorders that cause the same problems. The only way to know if you have ms is to be evaluated properly and to see if you meet the mcdonald criteria, which dictates the diagnostic criteria.

Classical onset: Unilateral loss of vision, loss of balance and coordination, electrical shocks down back on flexion of neck, weakness and stiffness in legs, but also, more subtle, including focal weakness, fatigue, cognitive deterioration, double vision, dizziness, etc. Important, these presentations may be associated with other illnesses, and, in themselves are not diagnostic.
