Hi. I am not yet diagnosed but have a suspected lesion on my brain stem. This would fit with my first presentation of facial paralysis & double vision. The facial paralysis responded well to a low dose of steroids (given for suspected Bell’s Palsy at the time) but the double vision took a couple of months to go.
I’ve since had my first appointment with the neuro. They didn’t say much, made me walk in a line and touch my nose with my finger. They are sending me for another MRI because oddly he didn’t have access to my initial MRI images.
One thing he did say was that the feeling of ‘whooshing’ (slight dizzy feeling that lasts seconds) and pressure in my temples, cheeks and nose (feels like sinus pressure) could not be due to MS. Since my face was paralysed back in August, the sensation has been there off and on. More on than off for the last 3 weeks.
I’ll bring it up again when I go back after the MRI but wanted to know if anyone else has had this sensation?
