The symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary significantly from one person to another. Many experience sensory issues such as optic neuritis (blurred vision), pins and needles or neuropathic pain. Others have difficulty with movement, including problems with coordination, dexterity or foot drop. Fatigue is often described as the most common MS symptom. Learn more about MS symptoms and how they can be managed with treatments by speaking to others who understand.
