MS can cause a variety of symptoms, including changes in sensation, visual problems, muscle weakness, depression, difficulties with coordination and speech, severe fatigue, cognitive impairment, problems with balance, overheating, and pain. MS will cause impaired mobility and disability in more severe cases. Relapses, also called exacerbations, can cause new symptoms to appear and old ones to resurface or worsen. The relapses are followed by periods of remission, during which time the person fully or partially recovers from the deficits acquired during the relapse.

I have a disease that mimics MS. Symptoms can be the same. There is no cure for either as both are autoimmune diseases. The difference is there are no tests that can 100% prove MS, but Antiphospholipid Syndrome can be diagnosed with blood tests. Here is a good linkhttp://www.hughes-syndrome.org/symptoms.htm

Lifelong condition, no cure. www.mssociety.org.ukIt can affect prople differently, personally I have permanent nerve damage, right leg, paralysis right foot nystagmus (less common than optic neutitis - eye condition) which affects my balance more than the dead leg and foot!There is no saying how it will affect each individual, I've been diagnosed 8 years and it's the last two that have caused the 'permanent' damage. Although during relapses I've had many other symptoms which have cleared up - more or less.If you've been diagnosed, push for all the help you can get, the earlier the better. Some people have much milder symptoms, you can live a relatively normal life with MS, just listen to your own body, and make sure the doc knows what's going on - don't ever think you're being a nuisance!Good luck
