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 have apparently had MS since I was a child.  I think Muscle Spasms may have been my first symptom.  That would include Muscle Spasms in my neck and bladder at the same time.

Numbness/tingling in hand was the first for me, some balance issues around the same time or after.

Don't know Doctors found MS before I notice anything. I guess what they saw was left side weakness.
