No two people with MS experience exactly the same symptoms. While none of these symptoms guarantee that you have MS, some of the common symptoms are:
✅ Fatigue. "Tiredness turned up to ten".
✅ Numbness/Tingling. "Like my phone's always low-key vibrating on my leg".
✅ Balance Issues. "Like the end of a night out, but at 8am".
✅ Vision Problems. "Like trying on your grandma's glasses, #blurry".
✅ Spasms. "As if someone is tensing my hands for me".
MS is most commonly diagnosed in your 20s, 30s, 40s and is two to three times more common in women than men.
