MS symptoms?

[GoRollTide]

I have been having symptoms of MS. I got these off the internet: slow word recall, abnormal pupil responses, infrequent bowel movements, short term memory loss, vision problems, problems empying my bladder, unbalanced and incontinence (at night when i get out of bed to go to the bathroom) I am on Humira. It lowers your immune system and can cause MS.The first thing I noticed was my vision seemed to have changed over night. I have wore glasses for far away objects for years but now I have trouble seeing things close up. It was so sudden. I went to an ophthamologist and he said it was from my diabetes.He said my vision would fluctuate with my sugar and i told him it was hard to to see things close up all the time. He just dismissed it. The highest my sugar has been other than the glucose tolerance test is 188. If there is such a thing as low grade diabetes then thats what i have. Before that a woman checked my pupils and she said my left pupil got bigger when she shined the light in my eyes and the right one constricted really slow. The doctor didn't even mention that. I was told to come back in 1-2 weeks so his partner could test me and fit me for contacts. The doctor also said that my old prescription was too strong for my eyes. But they have always helped me to see far off. I am only 28 and i have to hold things a way from my face to read it. I have also had to get my husband to read things for me because it was to small. I have an appointment to see a neuro-ophthamologist. I am scared to know the results. I am going to him for a second opinion. Can anyone tell me what he will do. I want to know what to expect.

Thank you for your help. I am anxious. I just wish it would get here and be over. I dont know what to do. What if I tell him all these symptoms and it turns out to be nothing? I will be embaressed. I Hope that he don't tell me it is all in my head. Will he do an MRI or the lumbar puncture first (not sure that is what it is called)? Can i still have MS and not have lesions on my brain since my symptoms have just started about 3 weeks ago. My first symptom was the sudden change in vision. I think the Dr. that said it was my sugar doesn't know what he is talking about. If you have anymore answers please let me know. thanks,

Dont be scared.... It is a good visit.  I had to go because I got Optic Neuritis. The exam is very similiar to a regular eye exam but there are more tests like color vision, macular degeneration tests etc...  Lots and lots of looking into your eyes with those funky giant glasses things.  No pain, no worries. HE was great and said i had Retrobulbar Neuritis (which is optic neuritis).  So, its a very good thing to see him.  Relax and pray for answers.... Good luck!
