What are episodic symptoms of MS?
Episodic symptoms (symptoms that come and go) are common in MS. They are typically abrupt in onset, last only a short time and resolve on their own. They can occur several times a day and may include loss of balance, slurred speech, double vision, dizziness, painful tingling, electric shock-like sensations, or repeated muscle contractions. These episodic symptoms do not indicate the patient is having a seizure. (See Treatment).
