First Symptoms

[ambrosiawind]

Would like to know what the first symptoms were that people experienced with MS and even those still in limbo

along with the choices below if there were other places where neuropathy and spasms were discovered that you were unaware of

and Optic neuritis if you have and when it started

The very first thing I noticed was burning, tingling, and numbness.  However, I didn't go to the doctor until my face started tingling, and my vertigo showed up.

My 1st symptoms were at 1st thought to me a TIA- right side paralysis, with drooping of the right face and slurred, difficult, thick, speech.  This episode lasted 1 week- with a 5 day hospitalization, with residual symptoms for 1 month.  I had a complete recovery.  It was 4 years until my next episode.

Tight hard muscles in my arms which always made them weak, unexplainable bone numbing fatigue and horrible muscle spasms after getting hot.

Itching in feet, hands, ears.....nothing would ease it, not even cortizone creams.

Tinnitis off and on for 2 yrs, now is always on for the last 2 yrs

Grand Mal Seizures while sleeping and Optic Neuritis...other than that, no "typical" MS Symptoms until July 2007.  Diagnosed in 1993.
