ugh... they looked at my optic nerves and said since I do not have optic neuritis (sp?) they did not think I had MS. He asked me what other symptoms I had that were MS related and I just kind of looked at him... I am only at this point because they can't tell me why I have double vision in one eye (monocular) So I am getting sent to a MS specialist. I should get a call tomorrow when and where that apt will be.
I didn't even get to ask a single question.
All he had was the MRI report (no dvd/disk) and he said that I had several white spots in my brain. I knew that already. :/

If this is MS it is very early. I guess. I have toes that contort/cramp. I have gone to the dr years ago for dizziness and hand pain in the past and stopped going to the dr. because I was just finding out over and over htat I was negative for rheumatoid arthritis. I have thyroid disease and get very fatigued. To the point of laziness some days. My eye sockets hurt when I have head aches but that is the only time they hurt.
I am not trying to get on the ms team but obviously the white spots are there, and the double vision is going no where. The only new symptom is that words go in and out of focus slightly when I read books.
There are a few things that I am thinking about that might be symptoms but I honestly have no idea. I have neck and shoulder pain only when walking out side for exercise and my hands swell really bad. But all goes back to normal if I cool down. I am trying not to take too much form this apt and wait for the ms specialist. but dang, he could have saved me the drive and called me at home. KWIM?!?!
