I was told I was "textbook MS" too. Woke up one day in January 1988 with the vaseline vision in right eye (ON). Couldn't see at all out of it. Pins and needles lower right leg, right hand, and right side of face. Fatigue became a problem right away. And a very annoying stabbing pain in back of neck.

I was on a waiting list for an MRI for over a year, but yeah. There were lesions. There was only 1 MRI machine in Toledo at the time.
