Has anyone been diagnosed with ms with out any vision problems? I have all the extras that go with ms but no vision problems. I think my doctor is waiting to see if I develop any before a definite diagnosis. Thanks!

I was diagnosed with MS before I had any vision symptoms. I had the evoked potential tests and they came back fine. Now however, from time to time I have brief blurry periods but they don't last long.

The Different Symptoms Always Depend On Where On Your Brian The Lesions Are, I Had Double Vision For My First Episode But Its Because I Have A Lesion Thats Very Active Right Behind My Optical Nerve, So You See, Even If You Have No Vision Problems And You Have Many Other Indications Of Ms, You Should Seek A Proffessional To Have The Correct Testing Done For A Correct Diagnosis, You May Have A Different Problem, Or Yur Lesions Might Be Elsewhere....

I was diagnosed without any vision symptoms, mostly just sensory problems, and some weakness. But I haven't had MS for very long, a lot of people don't get diagnosed until a long time after they're 1st symptom, I was lucky enough to get a definite dx 9 months after symptoms started. Have you had and MRI or spinal tap? or the evoked potential test?

Hi Everyone
I have been having all different symptoms for about 4 yrs i have seen a rumertoligist and had a mri scan on my spine,i have also been seing a osteopath and a chiropactor and know one can tell me what i have got,the worse pain i get is in my buttocks its a sharp spasm like pain and then i get a dull achy tingerling sensation down my legs,most of the time when i get this i can not move or walk and my leg just goes so weak,I also get tingerling sensations in my toes and fingers.Sometimes when i wake up in mornings i get a horriable blated feeling in my stomach and around my back as if i have a tight band around me and it gets tighter and most morning i feel like i have been hit by a bus,Also i have headaches all the time and am tired alot of the time with no energy.Every time i get these attacks they are all ways in a different place with different pain.Sometimes i can go a month feeling normal and then i will get an attack they just come when they want to. My mum has ms and i am just woundering if you get these sort of pains with ms,If anyone has any advice please let me know.
Thanks
