Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) with its protean manifestations of central and peripheral nervous system pose a challenge to its management in different clinical scenario. The issue becomes much more complicated with occurrence of strange and unusual symptoms intermingling with common symptoms in people living with MS. The frequency and severity of these unusual symptoms changes overtime and raise a suspicion of other neurological disease. The occurrence of any of these symptoms at times may be a sign of active disease. A reasonable understanding of these strange symptoms both to the patient and healthcare team could be of help in taking appropriate steps to manage MS more efficiently.
