Nystagmus is basically eye movements associated with neuro problems, usually those involving the cerebellum. when the Doc asks you to follow his finger with your eyes, he is looking for smooth pursuit without breaks. Paretic gaze nystagmus is an indication of brainstem involvement. This one is where it is not possible to maintain a gaze on an off centre target, and the eyes keep going central

Welcome

I see you have been given some good links to start with.

I don't know a lot about MS. I do know many friends and a dear family member with MS. It is no fun.

Here is the link to Stumble Inn: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum17.html

I look forward to seeing you around the board.
