Hi all,
Back in may I went blind in my left eye and was told it was optic nuritis, I had a course of steroids an the sight came back. I had an mri done and it showed lesions on my brain, I have now been refered to see a neurologist my doc has reviewed my mri and symptoms an said he is 99% I have ms but can't put it on my notes as it has to come from the neurologist, can my doc be wrong or is this pretty much a Garunteed diagnosis.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
This is my first post on here...I just wanted to talk about where I am at with my diagnoses and maybe other people have been through or are going through similar experiences. Would be great to hear from you.
MS was first mentioned to me about four weeks ago, when I went to see a Neurologist after my GP referred me because I was having problems with my balance. A year before that, I had optic neuritis and had an MRI scan but was told, other than inflammation of the optic nerve, that all was well. I have been aware of my inability to stand for any length of time for about two years so I went back to my doctor, hence the referral. I arrived thinking he would say I had an ear infection or something...He called me in late for my appointment and said he had just been looking at my scan. He said it showed lots of areas of inflammation. On top of that I have previously had Bells Palsy twice over many years and also at times, a very sensitive bladder. He said he suspects MS but I have been referred for another MRI scan with dye this time and also a lumbar puncture which scares me. I feel frightened, relieved, sad...so many different things. I see my Neurologist again in December/January, feels like the longest wait.
Thank you for listening,
