I am nearly the same age, female, and have been seeing neuro for almost three months.
My issues began with an investigation into balance and vision problems after several broken bones d/t falls and osteopenia).
I too have some problems with communication, particularly when stressed. The docs are trying to blame it on PTSD, which I am well aware could cause some of my symptoms. NOT, falling, poor vision, etc.
Still, working to find doctor to help combine all the clues. I am so tired I can barely work and without work, no health care. So...
I've been to two neuros with two opinions. Now finally, an opthamologist who stated I have damage to the left optic nerve, consistent with MS.
Good luck to you!

I'm thinking I may have Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP ) The deap tennon reflex seems to be there I think, however and if anything the knee jerk may even be a little more than it should be.
I think you are right about getting a new Nero. I also have a sensory processing disability which is making comunication very difficult with my DRs. Thanks for your comments.
wow, you've had a time of it...
Despite what they say, age doesn't excuse one from MS, I would know.....
It is possible to have MS and no lesions, but hard to Dx for sure.
Perhaps a new MRI to see if this set of episodes would show something.
I would class these as CI, which can be considered if there are lesions to go with them.
you need a new neuro to start with........make up a time line for the new one of your problems.
when posting, can you do us a favor? break up your post with paragraphs, whether the breaks fit grammer or not, we don't care, but many of us have problems, brain and eye wise, to follow long lines of text......thanks!
keep us posted but I'd look for an MS specialist and at least a neuro who READS mri's and doesn't depend on the radiologist written report.
You didn't mention if you had an LP? Keep us posted, we learn from each other
