This is from Merck Manual. I thought it was much easier to do it this way. These are common symptoms of MS. I put in bold the ones that I have had. Wait, I saw how this looked when posted and changed it to bolding the symptoms I have NOT had. lol

Nerves (affecting sensation)
Numbness
Tingling
A reduced sense of touch
Pain or burning
Itching

Eyes
Double vision
Partial blindness and pain in one eye
Dim or blurred vision
Inability to see when looking straight ahead
Uncoordinated eye movements


Muscles and coordination
Weakness and clumsiness
Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
Tremor
Uncoordinated movements
Stiffness, unsteadiness, and unusual fatigue

Intestine and bladder
Problems controlling urination and bowel movements. (Of note, I have not experienced incontinence issues unless I have a cold or some type of virus. I actually have retention and get bladder spasms occasionally.)
Constipation

Mood
Mood swings
Inappropriate elation or giddiness

Depression
Inability to control emotions (for example, crying or laughing without reason)

Brain
Subtle or obvious mental impairment (Like many of us, I have a slow process now and a few other cognitive issues. Don't know if that is what they mean by mental impairment.)
Memory loss
Poor judgment
Inattention


Other
Dizziness or vertigo
