The signs of multiple sclerosis are muscle problems (weak or stiff muscles, dropping things more often, and you may become less coordinated), sensory problems (tingling, pins and needles sensation, numbness), visual problems (vision may be blurred or hazy), and balance problems (you may feel lightheaded, dizzy, or like you are spinning).
