Hello All,
I am a 28yr male with relapsing MS. I've now been living with it since my diagnosis in 2003.
Other than getting used to the rebif injections and luckily only 2 hospitalising relapses, i'd like to think that i've handled it well, and pretty much nothing really irks me about the condition.
As a result of the MS, i no longer have any feeling in my fingers, and constant tingling in my palms. It took a while to learn how to write neatly, and even not to drop cups and plates, but i think i've now mastered that.
What my issue is, that whenever i visually focus on anything, the other eye rolls out, much like a "lazy eye". I can only ever focus with 1 eye, if i use two, i get myself into a cross eyed situation.
As a sales rep, its awfully embarrasing, and i'm so self conscious about it now, i wear sunglasses everywhere, and avoid eye contact as much as possible.
My vision is ok, but i cant control my eye not to roll out?
My neurologist referred me to an opthamologist, but he says "its the MS, we cant do anything about it"
I refuse to accept this, surely someone out there has some sort of answer?
Regards,
Millberry.
