Yes, absolutely Damien. This is a list of symptoms that can happen, but they don’t all happen. Praise the Lord. Some people have some of these symptoms and some people have none of these symptoms.
I have several of them definitely too many and unfortunately, I am also in a wheelchair and a good thing is that I think the majority of MS patients are not in a wheelchair and are still walking
The MS list doesn't mean you will experience all the problems...
