Individuals with MS can experience a broad range of symptoms that are dependent on the amount and type of nerve damage that occurs. In fact, most people with MS will likely only experience a few of the known symptoms. Relapsing-remitting cycles of MS progression are not uncommon with relapses developing over days or weeks and remission that last months or years.
