Let them know you suspect you may have multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as why. While it's all well and good to try to diagnose MS on your own, the detailed and difficult diagnosis makes it hard for even licensed professionals to achieve certainty. Keep in mind that it may take a long time to receive an MS diagnosis because your doctor will want to rule out other conditions that may cause your symptoms. This might feel frustrating, but it's the best way for your doctor to ensure you get the best treatment possible. Many people with MS experience their first symptoms between the ages of 20 and 40. If you come across any of the following symptoms, write them down for you doctor to use in ruling out other possible medical conditions:  Blurred or double vision Clumsiness or coordination problems Thinking problems Loss of balance Numbness and tingling Weakness in an arm or leg No two cases of MS present in the same way. To this end, you may have:  One symptom followed by a respite for months or even years before the symptom presents itself again or a new symptom presents.  One or several symptoms in close proximity to one another, with the symptom(s) becoming worse within weeks or months. Many people with MS share similar symptoms, but the condition can present in different ways. Your doctor will want to know which symptoms you have so they can consider possible causes and give you proper treatment. These symptoms include:  Feeling pins and needles, but also numbness, itching, burning, or stabbing Bowel and bladder problems, like constipation, frequent urination, suddenly urgent urination, problems emptying the bladder fully, and the need to urinate at night Muscle weakness or spasms, resulting in difficulty walking. Dizziness or lightheadedness Fatigue no matter how much you sleep Decreased sex drive Thinking problems, difficulty concentrating, difficulty retrieving memory, and low attention span Shaking or tremors, making it difficult to do some everyday activities like holding a cup Speech problems in the later stages of MS, such as long gaps between a string of words, slurred speech, or intensely nasal speech Eye problems, usually affecting only one eye, in the later stages of MS
