I am classic PP, MRI show the kind of lesions, my Evoked Potentials showed MS reactions, my history confirmed it. Seven years following DX (although I suspect beginnings in early 80's) I was in a chair, useless left hand but no numbness or pins and needles, no visual stuff, can feel every pinprick everywhere (had a neuro offer to let me kick him following uncomfortable exam). Used to sail through neuorolgical exams, following doctor's finger or light, squeezing hard, even jumped. Now good hand can squeeze, no longer can jump, but can touch nose with "good hand" and follow fingers and lights. MS is so strange and individualized!! I can feel even a strand of hair falling on left side, but arm and leg useless. MRI not good I think for me. As PP, I never enhance. No facial numbness. MS sucks!!! I get so dizzy when out shopping in manual chair.
