Hello everyone,

I'm just new to this site and I have a possible dx of MS. Been in limbo for almost a year. Optic Neuritis was my first major sx. I have had nerve issues in my left leg since 1999. Spine isssues as well. They treated me single with every sx. Now my neuro is going back over my history to see if anything might have come up before. Last April I lost the ability to read in my right eye. Thank God for my left eye to compensate. Right eye - words are hit and miss and the ones I can see are blurred(never recovered). My left lower quadrant of the right eye is getting worse. My periphrial is broken up. I notice it when I drive. The white line on the side of road is broken. Opthamologist says my eye went from 20/30 to 20/100. He sent me for an MRI (2nd one). Will know more next week. He is checking the optic nerve and for lesions. I have some of the sx of MS. I have the fatigue, spasticity in my legs, short term memory has been lost for the past year and now i can't find the right words to say,burning nerve pain at the top of my head, nerve pain in the middle of my spine. These symptoms all come and go when they feel like it. I am keeping a journal so that I can show the neuro what is happening between visits.

My question to you all is he put me on neurontin for the leg pain and numbness at night. I do have it in the day but its mostly at night. Has anyone else experience low back pain with taking this drug? It seems to come on after about 4 hours of sound sleep. After that, I can't get back to sleep. Thank you
