Multiple Sclerosis can be felt in so many ways, no two MSers have the same symptoms nor the same experience of them to help you to make sense of your own experience we asked some of the Shift.ms community how they would describe their own symptoms.
✅ Sensory Issues: "It feels like my muscles are fizzy!"
✅ Fatigue: "What looks like me walking normally feels like I'm walking through deep snow."
✅ Balance Problems: "I'll be walking along and it's like my ankles temporarily go like jelly."
✅ Vision Issues: "Literally just like seeing double, but only in my left eye, and only sometimes!"
✅ Brain Fog: "I'll be in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden I forget the next part. It's like I'm buffering!"
No two people with MS experience exactly the same symptoms. You might experience one, two, all, or none of these

We asked members of the community to talk about how their symptoms felt to them, everyone experiences their MS differently, but hopefully these descriptions might help you frame your experience.
