Hi
Have been lurking and reading for a few weeks, figured now is a good a time as any to introduce myself.
Another limbo lander here.
Sudden onset of double vision in early Dec. Eye sight prefect expect for the double vision on one side. Ophthalmologist noted INO in one eye and sixth nerve palsy in other. So I was sent for brain MRI.
Results of MRI showed multiple white matter lesions. They said probably MS but only neurologist would give that dx.
That all happened within a week, and waiting for appointment since. Just found out that appointment with neurologist is in April. Seems like ages away.
So going to try to get an earlier appointment with another neurologist. I figure that if it is MS, better to get appointment sooner to do any tests needed, and get on treatment instead of running the chance of another relapse that could cause damage. If it's not MS then let then tell me what it is and give me a pill to fix it
Double vision has nearly gone now ( i think) It's definitely not as bad, but I'm not sure if it's really close to what it was before or I'm just getting used to it. It as always only on one side. Wasn't seeing double when I look straight ahead.
About 18 months ago, I had gone to doctor for blood test as I was feeling 'funny' when I was walking. Had hard time explaining it, I wasn't feeling faint, but I felt like I was going to fall. Like the ground was moving. At the time, blood test came back normal. The feeling went away after a few weeks, so I didn't think any more of it.
That came back this year in August and Sept but I just ignored it. but it's back now again for the last month, and I think now it might be connected. Just trying to deal with it now by avoiding having to walk to far but that's not a long term solution.
Anyway, that's my story so far.Trying to push my agenda and get the health system to fit me into their agenda is hard going, but I plan to continue
