What we’re your very first symptoms of MS?

Just that really. In hindsight should you have gone to the doctor earlier?

Spells of imbalance and vertigo for me. I did go to the doctor but he put it down to an ear problem. To be honest even if I'd insisted on more tests earlier I doubt I'd of been taken seriously. Took four and a half years to eventually get a diagnosis

Pins and needles in my right leg for several weeks

I've been flagged as at risk category for MS following an uveitis attack and unexplained ankle weakness/random foot drop.

Following out of interest.

A tight feeling round the outside of my chest -“MS hug”. I was studying abroad and wouldn’t have gone to the doctor because it was weird and unpleasant but I didn’t think it was serious at the time.
