IF I have MS (not diagnosed), the first definite symptom would have been the painful shocks beneath my ears at age 42, which I think was a small episode of bilateral trigeminal neuralgia.

However, when I was 25, two to four months after the birth of my first child--prime time for "relapses," I think--I had a huge dizzy spell which MAY have been part of all this (maybe not).

After my second child, numbness in my hip. Never saw a doctor about anything til age 42.
