thank you so much that helps.I look back and I had some eye problems.thirty years ago, but I didn't go to a eye dr. and I vibrated down my back a lot. I didn't run to the drs when I had things like that.   I don't think that they know that much about ms and that and mri can't see everything? I also had my left eye go blurry it happen to my right eye a year ago so I was told that I had ON. I now  know thats it is a neurologist symptom.  thank you again. and best of luck, lulu and meg.sarah

Hi Diehl, 

I was not diagnosed until i was 65, six yrs earlier a neuro told me I was too old and I gave up looking for all those 6 yrs, then another brain scan showed some lesions again and my Dr sent me to an MS Dr,  I was diagnosed 4 mo. later.

Lulu is right, as usual, don't let anyone stop you from finding the answers you are looking for.

best of luck, meg

Hi Diehl,
Despite what a doctor might say, you are never too old to be diagnosed with MS.  I found out when I was 54.  There are others here who didn't get a dx until they were in their 60's.  I think that's possible because when we're younger we just ignored some of our symptoms

If you think someting is wrong, don't let the doctor discourage you from getting answers.  You may need to move on to another doctor who is willing to take your concenrs seriously.

be well, Lulu
