I know! I was happy to get the dx of MS when I thought it was a brain tumor! Just goes to show....there's always something worse.

I took two rounds of oral steroids but they didn't really help the double vision. Just made me hyper and hungry! I did have a case of bells palsy immediately following the double vision. It affected my face and to this day I can still see the weakness in one side of my face. Others say they don't notice it but I do.
