In 2008 I just started a new job. Within days, I developed horrible eye pain and dizziness that lasted for weeks. Also had trouble focusing, I felt very weird, very off. I went to my doc who ordered a MRI which showed lesions, then went for LP which showed 11 O bands. Every other disease was ruled out. I was 47 when I was dx. Years before my dx I experienced years of RLS (restless leg syndrom). Never thought much about it, just had my husband massage my legs to make it go away,also started getting it in my arms too. Also, about 18 years ago, I recall getting out of a jaquize (sp) and couldn't walk. Felt much better after getting out of the pool. I never thought to much about that till after my dx. My memory also started going about 8 years ago. I wrote that off as peri meno issues. My memory is even worse now.
Good luck to you both. If your wife gets dx with MS, have her visit this site...there is so much comfort here..and caring people!!
