In my mid-30s I started falling down a lot. Sometimes I broke bones. They were weird falls because they seemed so fast. I was just slammed down--no time to catch myself somehow.

At the same time I was having strange eye problems--blurred vision being the easiest one to cope with. Others came on very suddenly: sudden complete loss of the lower half of the visual field (which caused some of the falls), or huge black areas in the visual field, and sudden episodes where my eyes seemed to be whirling around in my head.

There were some bladder problems too.

Actually what was probably the first indicator was a fall I had when I was 20 but no one thought about MS at that time. I had an episode of severe vertigo, fell face forward, and knocked out several front teeth. The vertigo came back a couple of times years later, in much milder form, but again no one thought of MS.

I will speak for my sister and her first signs were in her very early 20's, she was dropping pen/pencil out of hand...went to doctors and only one said "maybe MS"....

She went on to do a very stressful busy life and full blown MS hit her probably in her later 40's...

I believe sugars and carbs were her downfall but these were her addictions as I see it all now. I really tried to help her and give her info on alternatives but she did not want to hear me, only her MS docs and all their drugs, and believe me too too many as I believe.

She lost the battle at 68.

Keep an open mind and look at all therapies and I'm not saying don't hear the doctors...but they don't have all the answers for our bodies.

Take care.
