   I’m not really who you want answering, as I don’t have MS myself, but I’ll just give you the story of what happened to someone I know. First, she just felt an odd sort of numbness in her legs – a bit like pins and needles, though more numb-feeling. Then this spread up through her trunk. At times it was actually painful. She had a different diagnosis before finally MS was diagnosed.

   One of the problems with MS is that there are many different presentations of it. You can see more about the different possibilities here: http://www.mssociety.org.uk/about_ms/symptoms/index.html Just remember that every single symptom CAN be something else, which makes the early phase of things really hard for people. I hope you’re managing OK yourself (if it’s you who’s got symptoms that might be MS).
