Diagnosis - the long and winding road

2001 Optic neuritis. Go blind suddenly - and fortunately temporarily - in one eye. Ophthalmologist sends me to neurologist. The neurologist tells me in a jovial tone to say that I have had optic neuropathy to insurers - if I say optic neuritis they’d put me down as having MS. MRI done. No follow up...

He knew from the outset of the relationship that I had ms and it is a degenerative disease...

Symptoms before diagnosis how long?

Diagnosis

Hi I have had a recent mri identifying inflammation on both spinal cord and brain. I’m seeing neurologist on Friday. Did anyone get a diagnosis with the same mri result? My symptoms are weak left leg, tingling in right hand and poor balance. I also tend to be very sensitive to alcohol.

Hobbies & Interests

I’d love to hear about everyone’s hobbies and interests- whether it’s something you were into pre-diagnosis that you’ve adapted to work around your MS symptoms, or if it’s something completely new to you that you wouldn’t have discovered without your MS. You never know when someone might need an u...
