This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi Mrs G, I'm glad you have good support from your GP but sorry to hear about the relapse. Hang in there! You sound as thought there's been a long period of inactivity/slowness through the old NHS, but its good to hear there are good people rooting for you. I'm a complete novice - so I have no wisdo...

Thanks Mrs George. Everyone seems to go throught the same kinds of turmoil as time goes by!

Hope you're doin OK too!

Hi Ally! Thanks for your kind, encouraging message. I did have a CSpine which was OK ( just a bit of wear and tear evident but no lesions etc.) The dVA thing is quite common I think( Deep Venous Anomoly.) I think I might have more eye touble before too long -the one I had ON in is "quivering&qu...

Hi, I'm not Dx as yet. My MRI scan result following first bout of Optic Neuritis is below. The neuro only got the result by phone and gave me a very fast overview which was basically - its not clear but not much we can do. Just wait and see etc etc . Here it is Conclusion Three small areas of T2 hyp...

Hi again,

Yes - the sensitive bruised feeling on the head that Twisted Helix mentioned. I've had that on an off too. Good links too by the way....

Mrs George I hope you get relief.....good luck

Hi Coastal, When you say, " flickering", do you mean the eyelid is twitching or that the eyeball itself doesn't move as smoothly as it used to? People are always telling me that my lower right eyelid is twitching, but I can't feel it most of the time. I'm not particularly bothered by it b...

Hi,

Just finished with ON but the eye I had it in now flickers a lot. Must be a nerve under eye-lid but I'm not sure.

Anyone else got this ( esp after ON?)

Thanks

Thanks for your replies - Jimmylegs those are interesting links and advice and you too Marie - I hadn't heard of that perspective...

Much appreciated.

Hi guys, I've got ( what I think is ) Sciatica. Had it bad 4 years ago and got acupuncture. Disappeared. Now I've done the ON thing and got an MRI result with three spots and....the Sciatica which had started to twinge really went for it last night :cry: would appreciate your sciatica stories and if...

Hi Mrs G! Yes - nice to meet you too. Our cousins across the Atlantic have a much more responsive system and network - though many still suffer from the "human factor" in the medical profession. They've been a great encouragement and I'm sure you find that too. I haven't got BUPA but I do ...

Thanks Punchy - good to know there are good folks out there who know how weird these feelings are. I appreciate your encouragement!

Hi Jimmylegs & thanks!

I did actually have a CS Scan also which I think was OK. It was the brain one that showed the spots.

Appreciate your reply - thanks again

Hi guys, I'm a Brit guy who has just come through Optic Neuritis ( diagnosis and then follow up MRI.) Like a lot of folks I'm now confused - not scared but feeling a weird feeling of "so this is what it feels like to be getting life-changing medical information." As I said, the ON was diag...
