As the title says! I’m 44 yo woman. Came home from holiday, got off the plane and was seeing doubles of the arrivals board which I put down to being tired. Developed runny nose and got positive lateral flow for Covid same day. Double vision persisted so I was seen in eye casualty and diagnosed with a cranial nerve palsy - probably viral origin and told it would go away in a few weeks to months and given some steroids.
This is where I’m possibly lucky or maybe have just complicated things for myself. I had a private MRI to be careful and this has shown two small lesions in brainstem which are probably causing symptoms - described as high signal, possibly infection, and an asymptomatic high signal lesion around one ventricle. It doesn’t comment in report specifically but this larger lesion likely older.
I don’t have any other neurological symptoms (though of course I’m racking my brain to think of odd symptoms over past decades) and my vision is now back to pretty much normal after three weeks.
I’ve been referred through NHS to neurologist/neuroinflammatory specialist. I know this will take a while and as you can see I’m up at 4.45am googling MS symptoms because I’m terrified.
Does this sound like definitely MS? Could they tell me that it isn’t? Anyone with a similar presentation?
Thank you.
