i felt unsteady on my feet for a couple years before i was diagnosed, but i had put it to being overweight and wearing sandals all the time. and for at least 10 years i would get shock-like sensations from time to time, but not long lasting or any weakness. i believe i had ms for at least a couple years. i also suspect it may have been from chemical exposure at my job. i was constantly inhaling nasty fumes only to be told it was nothing to worry about, even when the fumes would make me dizzy sometimes. i discovered when i joined the emergency response team at the motorola factory i worked at that the instructors focus was on minimizing any reporting of those types of calls. explain them away as random outside smells was the rule, not the exception. horrible emergency and medical standard imo
