Hi, About two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with MS. I had just started a new job when about three or four weeks in to it, I started feeling a bit all balance and then had terrible eye pain. I didn't have the blurryness or loss of vision that everyone talks about. My co-workers told me it was probably just stress with the new job and looking at a computer screen all day. This went on for a couple of weeks so I went to my eye doctor who couldn't really find anything wrong, but gave me eyedrops anyway...which didn't help. I then went to my GP who sent me for a corotid doppler which turned out fine. She then sent me for an MRI of brain and C spine. As it turned out I have several very small lesions in the white matter but not on the spine. I had tons of lab tests and was sent for a lumbar puncture which ruled out every other disease and illness...so I was told it's MS...so here I am! Hoping to talk to others to get advise and just compare notes. I really don't want to talk to my family about how I'm feeling because I will sound like a hypochondriac...heaven forbid!! Although, I should add that my husband is VERY supportive of me. I get around just fine. My symptoms are mostly fatigue and cognitive issues. Symptoms come and go but nothing major.
