Can anyone help? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

For approx 5 yrs now I have had a variety of symptoms. I started with finding that my pupils are often different sizes. I saw a doctor and an optician who both told me that it was nothing to worry about. Since then however I have had other symptoms such as feeling tired, lightheaded, dizzy spells, seeing lights flickering, ears popping, general aches, feeling sick, needing the toilet more often etc.

Can anyone help????

MS has a variety of symptoms, many more then your refer. Your symptoms could be almost anything as they are vague, but I would sure have yourself checked by a neurologist if systems continue as they might be one of many illnesses.

I have had all those symptoms except the pupil thing. What did you mean by lights flickering? I swear, where ever I may be the lights seem to flicker, or dim & it only lasts a few seconds.

I did mean actual lights (lamps, bulbs etc) sometimes flicker (go dim). Only for a split second but its only me that notices them.

I swear I notice the same exact thing! People think I'm nuts when I tell them this. I tried to convince my self it really is the lights flickering/dimming. I think I am just so aware of my surrooundings that I notice it whereas an average person isn't looking for it. I never notice it in sunlight so it has to really be the light bulbs.
