my first symptom was an awful pressure headache and after a month and a half the "vibrating", tingling and numbness started.

Hi,
I have had symptoms for years and did'nt realize it was serious until I had unbareable back pain 4 years ago,thats what sent me to the doc.
Wish you well,

my first flare-up consisted of ON in my left eye that developed over 2 weeks, left-sided facial numbness including my tongue, weakness in my left leg with numbness in both legs from my thighs down to my toes.

has anyone else had symptoms that were restricted to one side of the body?

My first symptom was ON also and actually I had been having MS symptoms for a long time but didnt know it. My ON was in my left eye also and my face and tounge was numb. Wow that is kinda strange atleast I know that someone else has it to. I just found out on the 22nd and Felt like i was alone. What was your next symptom Sunshine149. how long did it take for you to have another attack? if i could ask you. April I hope that you will find out everything soon waiting is what kills you so bad just the worrying. Take care of yourself and know that you are not alone.
