What is MS, what isn't MS

One of my biggest struggles thus far has been figuring out which symptoms are MS, which symptoms are not MS and what other symptoms exacerbate the MS symptoms. Does anyone else struggle with this?

@theresa_baima Basically you have to re-learn how your body functions. My rule of thumb is, if I've never had it before give it a couple of days. Unless it's really painful, then speak to your nurse or GP. You'll slowly work out what's what. But keeping a list of things may help if it happens regularly. Under your post above click on the box I've added marked relapse that might help you out a bit more.

@theresa_baima I agree with @highlander about keeping a list. I have never done it, but I'm going to start. There are SO many little things that have popped up over the years that I think are MS related but not sure. Then when a get my annual 10 minute apt with the neurologist I forget to mention any of them. I really wish I had written all my symptoms down, especially as my memory is now pretty shocking!
