I had a loss of balance in my 20s and my balance never got back to 100%. At the time I went to family doc said don'r\t worry. 2 and1/2 yrs ago My balance got worse. I fell down the stairs x3.and fell many other times. i went to neurologist beause pcp sent me. MRI white matter lesions of brain, not spinal, neg L.P. abnormal ver x2 For awhile I had alot of symptoms, week legs, tremors and hyperreflexia. I am 58. 1 neuro said I have M.S. 2 said no. If I have it I guess I'd be in the 3 %. All my symptoms are gone except some vision and the balance thing. Where did you get the circle? If it's true, it's surprising
The circle is out of context now and certainly does not represent a scientific survey in any way. It's based on a set of questions that Quix asked ("Who is diagnosed?") that used to be pinned to the top of the forum (see http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/697976). It represents the responses (though December 13 as best I could interpret them) of the forum members who have been diagnosed with MS. The charts will probably make a lot more sense if you look at the thread where I discuss how I made them at http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/711754.
PS I was surprised by how quickly most people were dx'd, too. It's certainly not the impression you'd get reading this forum, but the forum probably is skewed. I would be interested to find out if someone has done a more random, rigorous survey on this topic or if anyone has any more comprehensive stats.
