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...

Hi guys, please help. I did an MRI today and my result is no active lesions neither enhanced or added. So from November 2019(my last MRI) according to the radiology examination nothing is changed.

I have been diagnosed since 2010 with rrms, but had symptoms since 2007. Main symptoms numbness from wais...

I am wondering if anyone has seen either a geneticist or immunologist in the context of your MS. My brother is encouraging me to go, and he is also encouraging me to eat a keto diet. He doesn't quite articulate what he thinks these other doctors can do for me. My brother reads a lot of books about h...

Over the last 2 weeks i've started to notice a lot of MS symptoms, like muscle twitching, spasms, weakness, fatigue, pins and needles, numbness. Most of them appeared in the first week and are now slowly getting a bit worse. I wanna know what was your experience of first getting MS symptoms and in w...
