Your doctor will want to do a number of tests before confirming your diagnosis. Some common symptoms of MS include vision problems, muscle weakness, involuntary spasms, fatigue, dizziness, and bladder dysfunction. Many of the diseases that MS is often confused with can be ruled out with a simple blood test, while others require biopsies or an MRI.

The most important thing is to educate yourself about multiple sclerosis, so you can make informed choices about your care.

The more you can prepare yourself mentally for the diagnosis, and focus on planning the future afterwards, the better off you’ll be.
