This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Thanks. I make sure to eat a balanced diet with lots of nutrients and take multi vitamins.

I get shingles constantly. My doc said that it normally doesn't keep reappearing but mine do.

I wonder if there is an MS-shingles connection? The herpes virus is a nasty one, I wouldn't be surprised if it is the culprit for a lot of so called autoimmune diseases.

I don't think it's related to nutrition but thanks.

I am in limbo land (have many MS- like symptoms but no diagnosis) and have had some annoying eye problems for the past 2 months where my left eye/eylelid have been twitching almost nonstop. Keep in mind this is the same eye that I get blurriness in. I notice that it gets worse when I am hot or exerc...

Let me start off by saying a couple things. First, I have not been diagnosed with MS, but I have shown a lot of the classic symptoms. When I first seeing doctors about my condition several years ago, their first inclination was that it might be MS, but since my brain and spine MRI's came back clear ...

Good point. The only thing they told me was that in my left eye my vision was a lot worse than in my right eye, which they told me was because of a stymatism. The Dr. said that he didn't see any nerve inflammation. But, like I said, that was before the REAL problems with my vision started. I would b...

I went to an ophthalmologist about a year ago and he said he didn't see anything indicative of ON... of course that was back before my vision started to get as bad as it is today. I've heard that it's better to see a neurological ophthalmologist... is that true? What do they check for when searching...

Maybe 6 months ago? I've had MRI's done so many times now... probably about 4 separate times. I don't even know if my insurance will keep covering it, and even if I do I have to pay 10% for the procedure, which comes to several hundred dollars. I have to weight whether or not it's worth it to have a...

I started getting blurry vision in my left eye about a few months ago. Back then it was barely noticable, to where I wasn't sure if my vision was off or if I was just being a hypochondriac. But over the last week or so my vision in my left eye has regressed drastically. It is so blurry that this is ...

I have classic MS symptoms, but no brain or spinal lesions.... zero. Which is part of the reason why I am still waiting for a diagnos.

Can anyone explain to me what M.E. is?

About 2 years ago I had a really rough period of about 3 months where I had daily panic attacks and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and a panic disorder. I was medicated with 40 mg of lexapro per day and it seemed to work slowly over time. Now I don't deal with anxiety nearly on the ...

When you say a lot of the symptoms you have had were psychiatric in nature, what do you mean by that? I've had my own psych symptoms and I was curious if they are at all similar to what you have experienced.

I won't believe he is dead until I see his death certificate....

I'm having a really hard time with it all. The symptoms keep getting worse and I never seem to get any answers. Just the other day I wet the bed and I was so humiliated that it put me into a depressed state for the entire week. That, and my wife just doesn't get it, she thinks that I'm just too stre...
