Initial MS Symptom

What was your first MS symptom?  Try to remember your very first one.  If you had several symptoms, try to remember the one that presented itself first.

I only got 8 categories, so I couldn't cover all of them and had to combine symptoms.   If you're having trouble, choose the one that fits the best and clarify in your post.

I think that numbness and tingling in one of my legs was first.  Then came the spasticity and pain.  The pain is what led me on my path with rheumatologists.  I wish just one of my doctors suggested seeing a neurologist!

I remember having the same problem with casual conversation.  I still loose track of conversations in meetings, etc.  but it's not as bad as it was.  Are you still taking medicine for this, and is it working?

I hope your doctor will have an answer for you.  Let us know what your doctor says.  With a postive LP and MRI, and sounds like MS.
