Hi guys

I am almost embarrassed to say that my diagnosis was made unofficially on my first consultation with a neuro. He told me 'I think you may have MS, but we need to do more tests to be sure'. That was confirmed with MRI about six weeks later. I was a textbook case. I was half blind and was falling all over the place with very bad proprieception and major coordination issues.

Having said that, I can think of a number of times in the preceding 5 years that I had MS symptoms such as blind spots, slurring my words, numbness and pins and needles. I just pretty much ignored them and they went away by themselves.

16 days. I woke up and could not take more then 2 steps with out falling. Went to gp 3-4 days later (weekend), referred to a neuro, had a mri and that was it.

I had ms sx for many years before, but disregarded. They didn't bother me much so I paid no attention.
