Hi All,

After developing double vision in September last year, I gradually went down the DX road to MS.

There were quite a few legions found on my initial MRI results.

After about 6 months I had another MRI, but with contrast this time. My Neurologist told me that it was good news, as they did not see any active (or new) legions. He also said that it was unusual that so much time has gone past with no other symptoms.

He has been very clear that I have MS, but it is coming up to a year now and apart from the 3/4 weeks of double vision, I have experienced nothing else (apart from the fear that every little thing is related to MS ).

This doesn't seem to fit with other people's experiences (from reading online, a friend I know with MS and a friend who wrote a paper on MS) and I just don't know how to feel about it.

It's almost like I can fool myself into thinking I don't actually have it, but I don't want to do that. I think it is stopping me from fully dealing with it though.

I've been told I could be in a dormant phase that could last for another day or could last for years...

Has anyone else been where I am? I kind of feel like a fraud writing on this forum as I know some of you have a very difficult time. I don't mean to offend or seem ungrateful. I just don't really know who else to ask.
