My first symptoms that I can remember began at age 14 with numbness and weakness in my left arm. Catscans were run but nothing showed. I was also a sickly child. MS wasn't actually suspected until I was 39 and had a routine MRI because of buzzing in my ear. The Ear nose throat specialist said "You have MS" thus the beginning of a 2 year odysey of quacks for neuros who kept dismissing me. I finally prayed for an attack just to get this over with because the symptoms had become so severe yet nothing showed. I woke up 2 days later with optic neuritis. Two months later I woke up totally deaf in the left ear and although my neuro had diagnosed me based on symptoms and old Mri's with lesions that had been missed, (3 to be exact) He hospitalized me and ran tests which FINALLY confirmed MS. I was about to turn 42 at the time of the diagnosis.
