Nystagmus - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Wondering how many of you have visual problems, nystagmus in particular? I've had it on and off since my diagnosis in 1997. However, in the last year or so, it's pretty constant. Steroids give no relief.

Hi

I have MS and have also had nystagmus. Prochlorperazine tablets worked for me (after a few days of taking three a day).

Hope that helps

Good luck!

Hi,
Im not sure I have it,but my eyes jerk like crazy when I close them,,have a hard time getting to sleep,have any of you had that?

Yes, that's exactly it! Jerking eyes, I get a headache and nauseous from it. I have recently begun acupuncture to get relief from that and other MS symptoms and have had some luck.
