I am a 51 year old male. Birthday is today by the way. I noticed a couple of years ago that I had footdrop and went to a neurologist that couldn't find anything wrong with my nerve path and said to come back if it didn't get better in a few months. It didn't but I've learned to live with it. I am not the kind of person to go to the doctor a lot and I put up with a lot. I sometimes have migraines with visual auras. I had them a few times as a teenager and didn't have them again until a couple of years ago then they stopped and only had 1 in the last year.
Sometimes the vision in my right eye is blurry or double. I wear contacts and always just thought it was eye fatigue from the contacts but beginning to wonder. I sometimes feel dizzy. I feel depressed sometimes. I am forgetful at times.
I've had the electrical shock pain down my spine maybe a handful of times in my life. Sometimes I'll have a sharp pain at random parts of my body for no reason.
Like I said, I rarely go to a doctor and I'm kind of afraid to know if this is MS. I did ask the neurologist when having the dropfoot test and he said it would be an unusual first manifestation of MS.
So I thought I would ask people that know. What do you think?
