Quick question

Hi, I just want to say I appreciate everyone's feedback on this forum and by no means am I taking away from what you experience daily. My nerve symptoms seem to dissipate but I experience all over muscle twitches and get leg cramps here and there. I have heard an early symptom of ms is spasticity. Can anyone shed light if this occurred early for you?

Has your doctor checked you out for vitamin deficiencies (especially B-12), or thyroid problems?  Both of these problems can cause neurological symptoms.

The blurred vision has been a. Few seconds here and there. Like two times in the past week.

Hey. Thanks for the input. Yes, I have scheduled an MRI. And I get ticklish feeling on my face and parathesia feelings. Now I'm getting this blurred itchy eye feeling in right eye. And my left eye hurts too. I'll keep you posted. Could be allergy sinuses. This dry air is terrible!

Hi, Charmin. I see you have posted here on several occasions (maybe more) in the past, and that quite a few people have told you that what you describe doesn't sound like MS. I have to agree.

Nothing that happens 'all over' is likely to be MS, because of the nature of the disease. We'd have to have lesions all over the CNS causing the same symptoms, which is way beyond probable, and in fact would be unbelievably rare.

Leg cramps are quite common in MS, but they're pretty common in general, so don't point to any particular disorder. They can be quite benign, especially if you play sports.

Spasticity is not usually an early MS thing, because it tends to develop and worsen over time. It doesn't sound as if you have this symptom.

Have you had any testing done that suggests MS? Have you seen a neurologist? I would be focusing on some other cause for what you describe.

Good luck to you.
