Hello everyone,

MS brings a whole host of symptoms that many patients endure before being diagnosed. Some of the most common symptoms are double vision, bladder issues, pain and spasms...unfortunately, the list goes on.

What symptoms did you first experience? How did you manage them?

Hello everyone,

the first signs of multiple sclerosis can be very different from one person to another, and they are not always easy to understand at the time.

What were the first symptoms you experienced?
Did you immediately feel that something was wrong, or did it take time before getting answers?

Please feel free to share your experience with the other members. 💛

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

My first symptom was cold feet and tingling sensation. Went to Dr who said it was Reynards. After a couple of days still no better so saw another Dr. Did blood tests which came back clear. She spoke to neurological people at hospital and that is where my journey began.
