Hi Sharon. Thanks for the reply. Saw my family Dr. today re EEG results. They did not show seizures happening, this was what they were looking for. Neuro is away till Jan. 25th. Family Dr. talked about having a second opinion arranged by the Neuro I have now. Been over 5 years and last MRI said sugg...

Hi to everyone. Have not posted for awhile but thought some of you may have responses to my questions. Had latest MRI in Oct. after none for 3 years. Had some 11 + lesions plus two more. Report said could be MS but not to rule out other things. Apparently not enough since the last one. Neuro would n...

Hello Sharon. Just read your post and replies. I am 59 and have possible MS symptoms for 5 years. Have been dx with central nervous system disorder. My symptoms are inconclusive for MS but do show central nervous system problems. See neuro every 6 months and having another MRI of my brain, been 3 ye...

Yes, I am seeing a specialist and she has been very thorough. I'm to go into the clinic if more problems, other wise in one year. Seems this is probably age related, I'm 59. My Neuro had a good look too. No sign of Neurological problems. Thanks for your post, Linda

An update re eye flashing and floaters. Did have more floaters and saw the eye specialist before my intended appointment for May. All looks OK and not to go back for a year unless something more happens. Eye flashing seems less but do still have. Had my 6 month check up with the Neuro today. Some ch...

Yes, time has passed. Have seen the eye specialist twice and another visit in May. I'm to see sooner if lots of floaters or things go black. Do have more floaters but not a lot. She did say alot. If more come will make an appointment. Seems to be age related, no sign of retina damage. Still flashing...

Agate, yes, it is a large ball. Fortunately I have not fallen off. Do have balance problems but OK for the ball. I cannot stand with feet together, on one foot etc. without falling. The more I walk the more problems I have with balance and mobility hence the stick I use. Does help to have the stick ...

Hi. I'm also older, 59, dx with central nervous system disorder. Inconclusive for MS but think this is what I have. Been 3 1/2 years with slow progression. Have found this site very helpful. Not on anything but do take Vit.C,D, salmon oil, do yoga, have an organic farm with sales in the summer which...

Hi everyone. Good to see some more voices in the golden group. I haven't looked for awhile. As you say, life does go on. Been down with a cold and some symtoms worse, time to look at the site and respond. I'm not dx with MS, neuro does say central nervous system problems. See him every 6 months and ...

Thanks Sharon. I took your advice and hopefully email EyeDoc. Will check tomorrow to see if it worked. I agree, age does get in the way. Seems to be an easy way for Dr. to move us on when they do not know. My optometrist just smiled when I asked if this was another age related problem. He is around ...

Any one else have a flash of light in your eyes? Mine is my right eye, white narrow line from right corner up over my eye. Very quick and seems to come when I move my eye or head, not always though. First saw it at night after turning the lights out. Thought it was a reflextion of light from my glas...

Hi Linda from the other Linda :) Thought I should check the Golden Years site to see if any one was posting. Been awhile since I have looked. Sorry to hear you are not doing as well but hope better now. I've had some problems driving and wanted to see if any one else here has. My husband has had a b...

Hi Linda, from another Linda. Yes, there does not seem to be many posts for us in the Golden Years. I'm still not dx's and no big new problems. Slowly progressing with the same problems. Have had more problems with my arms, hands, legs not responding properly. Seem to get the message late to move an...

Yes, I agree. One has to step back and take a break from reading these posts ever so often. I am undx with all the symptoms for over 2 years now and find the posts helpful but have to step back when all the info becomes too much. Do find it keeps me sane to know others are out there though. A big th...

Hi from another Linda. Yes, I beleive things can get better. We take one day at a time. I'm not dx and been going through this for 2 1/2 years. Have a slow progression of what ever but all the symptoms of ms. Neuro does not have enough info to say positively ms. Has not ruled out other things either...
