I'm 19yrs old last year I was experiencing this flare like light in the coner if my eye and muscle spams. I googled it and the first thing that showed up was ms. I so was scared!So I went to doctor got blood taken came back good then and mri came back good. But then now I started to get symptoms like a burning crawling feeling and terrible headaches a pain in my eye and a pain in my foot and I started to slur my speech. I have terrible aches, I went back and got more blood taken and an xray of my spine all came back good. Now in january I have another mri I think she said of my brain I also got my reflexes tested she said my left side was off. I have to see a neuro I'm terrified any advice would help thanks
(sorry this was so long)

How are you doing. I've just this moment read your msg, I have had MS for 24 years. It started with circle of grey haze over my pupil in my right eye. For almost a year I had various tests, including an MRI scan that came back clear. The first doctor I saw was a consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. Then I saw his registrars who acussed me of drinking to much. I insisted on seeing the consultant only and this request was granted. It is a very difficult illness to diagnose, but this doctor was adamant I had MS. About two years later, the legions showed on the MRI scans.
As MS is more recognisednow than it was back then, you should not be scared to see a neurologist, they are understanding doctors. They usually have MS nurses who work alongside them and they are so kind and helpful and spend the time to listen to you.
I won't lie, MS is difficult to come to terms with, but a positive outlook is a must. Give in, your body will too.
I hope your appointment goes well.
