MS does not always start dramatically. Often, the symptoms are subtle. Early signs of multiple sclerosis can include vision changes, numbness or weakness, balance problems, trouble walking, or memory issues. These symptoms may come and go, which can signal ongoing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. Dr. Luis Compres-Brugal, neurologist and director of multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology at Baptist Health Miami Neuroscience Institute, explains why symptoms lasting more than 24 hours or recurring over time should be evaluated.
