Matt:

I had to look up INO.

The only eye problems I have is jerkiness of pursuit. Police officers watch for that when they test drunk drivers. I don't drink. I have oscillopsia, double and blurred vision. My optic discs are perfect. Neurogenic bladder, bowel motility problems, spasticity, clonus, slight loss of sensation, fatigue, wide gait, can't do tandem walk, use a cane for distances, ocassional weakness, brain atrophy, normal EVP's - which all add up on clinical exam to soft neurological signs. Yep - great MS mimicker. No lesions. When my leg reflexes tested 4+ I got considerable enjoyment from the look on my PCP's face.

Quality of life seems to be the goal for those with early symptoms. Pain management shouldn't be ignored. In the end, you cannot replace a good MS specialist vs. a 'normal' neuro. Well, at least that is my experience and story and I'm stickin to it.


Whatever happened to that promising blood test for MS? It seems to have disappeared from the literature.
