There are a lot of signs and symptoms that multiple sclerosis shows in incipient stages. However, these are sometimes mistaken and misdiagnosed as other conditions.  There is however, a list of outlines that are noted to be early MS symptoms and signs:
-    Unexplained fatigue, which usually isn’t resolved with plenty of rest. Also, this fatigue can be insidious, meaning that it gradually works its way into one’s everyday life, making the person feel like he or she is tired all the time
-    Clumsiness which is uncharacteristic in the person and which manifest itself by knocking or dropping things over, tripping, and such.
-    Unexplained weakness in one’s legs and/or arms
-    Language skills problems – this translates into being able to speak fluent one day, and another day having problems expressing thoughts. Most of the times, this manifests as thinking one thing and saying another thing. However, most people see this like something related to stress or lack of sleep, and this early symptom is most likely to be ignored.
-    Slurred speech – mispronunciation or slurring without any obvious cause
-    Troubles focusing and concentrating on things. This is a very commonly ignored symptom that’s attributed to stress or tiredness.
-    Depression - this is usually seen only as something psychological, rather than a condition that‘s caused by an underlying organic disease.
-    Aggression and/or dis-inhibition or other inappropriate social behaviors.
-    Incontinence or urinary retention – which is most likely seen as only a urinary problem and treated by an urologist
-    Vision problems, which include transitory eye pain and blurring. It is estimated that about 15% to 20% of people who are going to be diagnosed with MS to be first diagnosed with optic neuritis.
