Multiple Sclerosis (MS), article, e-Medicine Consumer Health :"The symptoms of MS can be different from person to person. Visual, sensory, and motor signs and symptoms are all part of MS. Some people have mild cases of MS with little or no disability. Others have full-blown MS that confines them to a bed or wheelchair. Still others are only diagnosed with MS after their death and live their entire lives symptom free. This variability makes it extremely difficult to diagnose MS. Often the signs and symptoms are mistaken as psychiatric in origin."

For example, one person may experience abnormal fatigue, while another might have severe vision problems. A person with MS could have loss of balance and muscle coordination making walking difficult; another person with MS could have slurred speech, tremors, stiffness, and bladder problems.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Information, NIH Neurological Institute :"Symptoms of MS may be mild or severe and of long duration or short and appear in various combinations. The initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye. Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance. Most people with MS also exhibit paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feeling such as numbness or "pins and needles." Some may experience pain or loss of feeling. About half of people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and judgment. Such impairments are usually mild, rarely disabling, and intellectual and language abilities are generally spared. Heat may cause temporary worsening of many MS symptoms."
