Could this Possibly be MS?? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Spring, 2004, I had Bronchitis, The virus attacked my vestibular neve in my ear causing 30% damage.

I had to do Vestibular Rehab to compensate, I recovered 100%.

Fall 2004, I cought a cold, started having the short spurts of vertigo, half spins I call them. I thought it was decompensation from my ear. Did my exercises and hoped I would be ok.

2 days later, very stressful day at work, I began to have blurred vision. I went to the hospital. There I lost my memory and was slurring my speech.

They took MRI's and Cat scans, but said they found nothing.

I now have a constant disequilibrium, cloudy headed, and my eyes will feel cross eyed at times especially when reading.

My right eye always seems like there is sun shining in it, even at night.

It is hard for me to concentrate, I am fatigued, and pretty much feel like crap.

COULD THIS BE MS???

It might, but I doubt it. Those symptoms could mean just about anything, sorry

. I hope you can find some answers soon. Good luck!

these symptoms sound very much like the sypmtoms I had initially and MRI scans were clear of lesions associated with MS. I know it's frustrating, it's important not to rule ANYTHING out at this point to keep getting tests etc. I hope you feel better soon. I take meclazine for my vertigo and it seems to really help although it does make me drowsy. It is available over-the-counter in the US.
