I think it's safe to say, we're all particularly different with our symptoms, however there are cross-over points. For me it's day to day:

-Trigeminal Neuralgia/Neuropathy of the head/mouth (these are the worst, by far). ---> headaches usually accompanying this mess.
-Numbness in fingers/hands (off and on)
-Extremely blurry vision (sometimes doubled, or garbled)
-Altered sense taste and smell
-Mild fatigue (could be attributed to my medications for pain though)
-Electrical 'twinges', esp. one on the bottom of my left foot (feels like a buzzing or humming)

I'm pretty lucky, but some days I'm on a pain scale with my neck up of 13 out of 10.

In a relapse I have much more vicious symptoms.. vertigo, extreme extremity numbness, loss of sense of body parts (right leg last time), L'Hermittes Sign, girdle-band(ing)... I even had severe facial spasms that looked like reversed Bells Palsy (face pulling upwards instead of drooping) with twitching everywhere on 1 side.

I've had a lot of different come and go symptoms and when I list them, I always read back over them and remember ones I've missed.

I'm almost 100% affected by sensory symptoms, in any event.
