This damage slows down or blocks messages between your brain and your body, leading to the symptoms of MS. Theses symptoms my include:

  • Visual disturbances
  • Muscle weakness
  • Trouble with coordination and balance
  • Sensations such as numbness, prickling, or “pins and needles”
  • Difficulty thinking and memory problems
