My initial symptoms were numbness and visual stuff. I was pregnant with son #2 when I had some double vision and blurriness but I just attributed it to the pregnancy as it went away and stayed away for nearly 20 years.
Both my legs went numb for about a month three years before my diagnosis but again, I considered it was a pinched nerve due to the fact it went away and didn't come back.
The month I was diagnosed I had a barrage of symptoms all converge on me at once. Double vision, numbness, balance issues, L'Hermitte's, ON. It was a terrible several months!
So, my symptoms dated back nearly 20 years before my official diagnosis. So, if I have in fact really had MS as long as that I think I'm doing pretty good at this point. I still have ongoing symptoms every day but I'm still able to be independent and for that I am so grateful.
