Hi, Jamie There is no 'normal' with MS. It affects everyone differently, depending on what part of the nerve sheaths are damaged. I have experienced all the above at various times and other symptoms as well. Even consultants just shrug. You may well be offered various treatments, all with their own joyous side effects. Which you should take into account before you agree. Just remember what they offer is not a cure, all they can really do is suppress the symptoms for a while. Yes there are MS attacks, and that too will vary from person to person, each of us will have our own triggers, mine is stress and heat. Try and stay calm, in spite of the sometimes over-whelming panic.

@jamie_elrod I echo what stigmadelta says, MS treats people differently some the same as each other, some different. Your symptoms are exactly like mine, will you ever feel somewhat normal again?.... In a word no but, with right meds and treatment you could get very close. MS attacks are referred to as flare ups or relapses depending on which form of MS you have, RR MS is where the MS remits and you feel okay then relapses and you back to feeling crappy.
