I was just wondering if any of you had early symptoms before diagnosis? A year ago I developed an eye problem in my left eye which hasn’t gone away. I had several tests on my eyes and the next step was an MRI which showed lesions on my brain. A second MRI showed lesions on my spine. I have another MRI in Sept and a lumbar puncture in Oct. On a number of occasions I have been told it could be MS. I’m now starting to get some aches, pains and tingling and wondering how others symptoms first appeared? Many thanks 1
Hi Sarah
my first symptom was tingling in my feet which lasted for 2 months before spreading to my hands.
got a fairly fast diagnosis just on the strength of one MRI and the oral history of weird stuff from my teens.
My MRI was when i was 50 so maybe I’d lived with ms for 30 odd years in blissful ignorance.
I felt fairly well for another few years but now I’m feeling ancient and decrepit!
so in a nutshell my further symptoms appeared gradually in a random way.
keep as well as possible.
try to enjoy life, it is possible!
My first symptoms were when my left leg felt heavy when walking…this was soon followed by foot drop and I tripped and stumbled daily.
Been in a wheelchair full time about 18 years.
