Multiple sclerosis signs and symptoms may differ greatly from person to person and over the course of the disease depending on the location of affected nerve fibers. Common symptoms include:  Numbness or weakness in one or more limbs that typically occurs on one side of your body at a time Tingling Electric-shock sensations that occur with certain neck movements, especially bending the neck forward (Lhermitte sign) Lack of coordination Unsteady gait or inability to walk Partial or complete loss of vision, usually in one eye at a time, often with pain during eye movement Prolonged double vision Blurry vision Vertigo Problems with sexual, bowel and bladder function Fatigue Slurred speech Cognitive problems Mood disturbances
