I was diagnosed with MS last week but experienced double, blurred vision and has a spot on my brain. I also have had battles with my emotions up and down, plus I am on meds for low testerone because my body doesn't give out testerone on its own. I also have a slumped back. Could it be possible that MS has been in me way longer than the vision problems and the brain spot was discovered?

Yes Luke, it's possible. I've had symptoms of MS since
1964 but wasn't DX until 1975.

Before I was dianosed thought I had an inner ear vestbular problem making me dizzy and had a pregnancy resulting in twins causing the "pee" problems and I was aging and working, no wonder I was tired. Had all that AND MS turns out!

I can think of a few of my MS symptoms that I remember feeling back when I was a kid. (unexplained vertigo, the MS "hug", muscle twitches...)
Makes me think that I might have had pediatric MS and just didn't know about it until I got older and things started to get more obvious.

Yes.
It is not uncommon to have MS longer than the actual diagnosis date. I was diagnosed at the age of 24 but my symptoms go back to childhood.

in short- Yes, and is common to have had symptoms from MS before any actual clinical daignosis.

No, I had zero symptoms until I got optic neuritis when I was almost 40 and was diagnosed. There were no warning signs, no weird things in my past. Thus it was a shock. But I did have old lesions on my brain (black holes) that made them think the process had been going on for a bit before diagnosis. But again I had NO symptoms until 4 weeks before diagnosis.

yes is the short answer.
i was dx'd when i was 53 and my neuro thought i had it at least 10 yrs prior. as i thought back those 10 yrs i remembered slight instances of sx's. dx'd = diagnosed sx's = symptoms

The slumped back could possibly be your spine accommodating a weakness in your legs. This happened to me. Not a slump, but a twist/skew in my lower spine. It makes one hip higher than the other, giving the impression of having one leg shorter than the other. I'm seeing a chiropractor, who is really helping with this. This is only a suggestion about your slumped back.

Bummer, yeah..........
I think mine was sneaking up on me around 1989 and I wasn't diagnosed until 2002. I believe doctors suspected before 2002, but my MRI's were always clear.
