Anyone been told too old too have MS?

[deeaberdeen]

I have been told I have fibromyalgia ,

I have been experiencing weird vision - IE missing bits in my central field of vision , seeing flashes of light in my fiend of vision , extreme pain when moving my eyes

I'm familiar with that sort of doctor.

Hopefully he performed an eye examination that included more than giving you a visual once over as you walked in the door of his office.

If you are still have vision complaints and eye pain, maybe you would consider getting into to see an eye doctor.

I was fuming when he said he knows when someone walks in the door of his office if they have MS, and he 100% can tell i dont!
so i am left with my fybromyalgia diagnosis,  and that i am too old , i am 44, and i have been having odd symptoms for a few years, i just didnt go to the GP straight away.

How old is too old?

My husband's father and two of his aunties have MS.

His father was diagnosed in his late 60s.  His aunts were diagnosed in their late 50s.
