Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
People who have multiple sclerosis (MS) can lead a full and satisfying life. Every person’s experience is different. Some people have no limitations while others have significant limitations. For some people, these limitations can be part of everyday life. At times, MS symptoms may interfere with work or social activities and may require changes in daily routines. Fortunately, treatments are available to help manage symptoms, and there are rehabilitation strategies to address these limitations. VA has many specialists who can help you manage your MS, including
