I am 34 and had a stressfull holiday in which I would wake up with blurred vision in one eye only. This happened to me after my 3rd child was born so I blew it off as tired eyes. It will go away and come back throughout the day. Eye Dr said astigmatism and still 20/20.I also have been having slight tingling in the bottom of my left foot and sometimes back of my thigh. I had an MRI on my back for a pinched nerve/slipped disc but negative. The thing that freaked me out is that I just had a 2nd episode of vertigo. Once in Nov. out of the blue which my Dr, said ..freak thing if it doesn't come back in a day you may never get it again. It came back last week awful!!. Everything is mild. The vertigo both time lasted 3-4 hrs. I think the numbness stops when I'm off my feet. I'm going to see ENT about inner ear and a physical therapist for numbness. I think that is all weird coincedences. It's just each DR. has individually said something about MS. Should I see a neurologist?

Yes, it could be MS, but it could be a lot of other things also. My mom has ms and her eyes are effected - she does not have 20/20. She gets dizzy, but it doesn't go away for days. She has numbness that doesn't go away when she sits down. During a flare up her symptoms can last for months. Don't worry until they do tests to confirm it. Doctors sometimes just are talking out loud on all of the possibilities.

Of course. I'm surprised that none of them has made that referral yet. You should also be arranging to see an occupational therapist about your vision and stability problems. You may need to be using some type of an assistive mobility device, but it needs to be the right one for you, and that's where an OT enters the picture.
MS is a chronic illness that can have all kinds of effects on your body. The good news, though, is that in many cases, it has only a moderate effect on your lifespan. Information is the key to dealing with and managing any health problems.
Just remember that MS is usually a diagnosis of elimination.

YUP.. see a neurologist
MS symptoms arent the same from patient, and very unpredictable.. No cure either.. just treatments with varying levels of sucess
