Four years ago I had double vision for two weeks after it was over I needed glasses. A first in 40 years. Since then I have had a whole host of unusual symptoms, such as bladder outlet spasms, electric zapping in my legs, involuntary thumb twitches, difficulty concentrating, or finding words, etc. The worst issue is what I call "episodes" where I have a sudden bout of profound fatigue accompanied by horrible nausea with all the other symptoms. Four years ago I had at least one episode a year. This year I have already had 3 episodes. It can last about two weeks, then I slowly return to baseline. I have had MRIs, an EEG, and LP (4 years ago) all negative. Is it possible to still have benign MS without positive tests?
My other question is, I recently had a near syncopal event and the ED doc ordered a "D-dimer" to see if this was cardiac in nature. The D-dimer was 30 points above normal, but cardiac issues were ruled out. I researched + D-dimers and discovered that D-dimers can also be elevated in conditions were there is systemic inflammation. Have you ever heard of people with MS having + D-dimers (non-cardiac caused)?
Thank you for your time.
