You cannot definitively test for MS at home
Use at-home symptom tracking to note numbness, tingling, weakness, vision changes, balance problems, fatigue, and bladder issues
Record when symptoms start, how long they last, and whether they come and go
Check for patterns such as symptoms lasting more than 24 hours or recurring over time
Test basic function at home by noting changes in walking, hand coordination, balance, and fine motor tasks
Compare symptoms with common triggers like heat, illness, stress, or fatigue
Review any family history of autoimmune or neurologic disease
Use a telehealth visit to discuss your symptoms with a clinician
Seek in-person medical evaluation for a neurologic exam if MS is suspected
Ask a doctor about MRI, blood tests, and other tests used to evaluate MS
Get urgent medical care for sudden vision loss, severe weakness, trouble speaking, or loss of bladder or bowel control
