Gosh, I had symptoms back when I was in my 20's (I'm 52 now). Had no idea what it was but they went away so I ignored them.

Dizziness and balance issues were first. Tripping over nothing. Then twenty years (or more) later both my legs went numb. I could still walk just felt like my legs were asleep.

The final straw was a severe case of double vision. That's what got me to the Neuro and ultimately got me the MS diagnosis.

It cleared up after several months and I haven't had it again but I have had ON and my balance/walking issues have gotten much worse.
