I agree that at times when he gets up from a chair and starts to move, you can see subtle signs that things are not 100% normal

A lot of the people with ms I have met are the same way. You can't really tell. You may notice some subtle thing if you know what to look for and look really close. And thank goodness.
But it's a tough disease because of that. Because everybody out there judges it.
You get cancer and you're a hero, you get ms and you're a whiner. What's up with that mentality?
In saying this, I'm not picking on anybody here...
But you know how it is *out there*.
