There are several kinds of MS. Most people with MS begin with the “relapsing remitting” stage of the disorder. This means your symptoms come and go. Usually you will feel completely normal until another relapse, or MS attack, happens. Symptoms that come with relapses usually build up over a period of hours to days. They can last for a few days or weeks and then go away, sometimes even without any treatment. New attacks happen at irregular times.
Common symptoms include:
- Vision loss
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness or fatigue
- Unsteady walking
- Double vision
- Greater sensitivity to heat
- Partial or complete paralysis
- Electric shock sensations when bending the neck
Over time, about 60 percent of people with relapsing remitting MS develop a secondary form of the disorder. It is referred to as “chronic progressive.” This means your symptoms do not completely go away at the end of an attack. You are left with some type of permanent neurological symptom. Attacks may also happen more often.
