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

Tightness in my forearms and arms and legs paralyzed for 5 days...

Thank you all for your comments on this, My main reason for asking the questions wasn't necessarily for a poll, it was because many of us here in limbo often wonder what the first symptoms were for those who are diagnosed and it is tough going through all the profiles I thought that this would be a good way to see first hand.

For me personally as more people have written i am seeing a pattern that is similar to my own

l'hermittes is my biggest issue and as lyme, pinched nerves and vitamin deficiency's have been ruled out i was having a tough time finding something else out there that listed this as a main symptom.

Thank you all so much

Cognitive issues and vertigo, starting in 2007.  However, looking back I may have been as young as 18, because at eighteen I would have these spells were I would feel like someone had shocked me and I would drop whatever I had in my hand.

The only thing in the poll that I had was L'hermittes

Slurred speech

Walking issues (had to correct myself from going off to the right)

Uncoordinated and had could not make my body do what my mind wanted or needed to do

Basically, all stroke-like symptoms to include not being able to make my hand write, etc

L'hermittes caused a buzzing in my keister (when I bent my head down)

Fatigue (could not stay awake)

I could go on and on here...............

I had sudden paraethesia around the middle of my back and spine up to my left shoulder. This Symptom has never left, just changes in sensation (sometimes burning), and is not as intense. I am only diagnosed with CIS at the moment. (Have Brain and Spinal lesions).

neuropathy in my right leg sent me to the doctor but looking back my earliest symptoms were dizziness and lack of balance probably.
