Symptoms - Double vision in each eye but only when one eye is covered - right eye a lot worse than left.
Dull headaches in forehead and stiff neck that last forever - with major fatigue. Only other medical issue is Hashimotos Thyroiditis. (simplified) No orbital abnormalities. No mass or fluid. Muscles normal. axial imagine from the skull base to vertex postgadolinium and no abnormal enhancement is noted at any level. Optic chiasm normal - no infarction at any level. no blood products or fluid collection. Flair images - along the right and left periatrial areas, there is some faint T2 prolongation along the adjacent deep white matter. This is the marginal to the splenium of the corpus callosum. The findings overall and nonspecific but given the age of 29 and double vision - the possibility of an early demyelination process would be a differential consideration. Is the patient suspect for early multiple sclerosis. *** So I imagine I will be going through more tests to rule out lupus and some other things to see if I fit in MS or not. So a clinical correlation is required. I also have had another symptom that I didn't think was anything that might be something if it is MS. When I stretch my legs and my toes. All of my toes spasm and contort on their own and I have to wait for them to relax and go back to normal. Usually takes a few seconds to a min. And difficulty getting words out like I am developing a stutter but I thought it was from being out of practice and being a stay at home mom. lol. I tend to seclude myself. So we shall see. I wont see the doctor until the 5th. couple of questions What is the definition for faint prolongation - does this mean lesion? What can I expect at the follow up? And with double vision in both eyes but only if one eye is covered does that impact my ability to drive or anything? Last edited by summerjc07; 07-29-2014 at 08:34 AM. Reason: adding questions |
