Please include your source for the information. My head, my own knowledge, and my brain do not count as adequate sources!

I have a friend with MS. Her common symptoms are: numbness in the fingers and toes as well as tingling. Vision problems such as floaters and flashes. Weakness and fatigue. Lack of concentration and energy.
Check out WEBMD.com also.

this is really serious numbness headaches are most common.

The best thing to do is to see a doctor. MS symptoms are varied. There are so many symptoms that you may think arre MS related and you actually have something entirely different.. I had a friend that was convinced he had MS because of all of the reading. He found 15 symptoms of MS and he had 12 of them.

He ended up having a pinched nerve. He had minor surgery and is fine. in the meantime, he worried himself for three months.
