Hi Yvonne,
i had my first attack back in June this year which i am still recovering from. Like you i had similar symptoms, numbness in the face, blurred vision and balance problems, headaches and i seem to suffer when it is hot and humid.
Like you i had a MRI done where they found some scarring to the core of the brain and i also had a lumber puncture done too.
It is a shock to hear that you may have MS but you really need to stay positive and as i have found out on this forum everyone is fantastic with their advice and support.
Hope you get things sorted out soon.
Hugs

hi sharon70 thankyou for your comments its been helpfull to me to no someone out there who no how u feeling while waiting for dignosos hope your are ok
Hi Yvonne, and welcome to the site
It’s great that you’re on the path to finding out what’s going on, but please do try and keep an open mind about what the cause might be - neurology is horribly complicated because there are literally hundreds of conditions that cause similar symptoms. So while many of your symptoms are found in MS, it could easily be something else that’s causing them.
I hope you get some answers soon.
