Hello!
I need advice since I have no health insurance at the moment. I have this doubled vision. I am afraid this could be connected to multiple sclerosis.
PLS, any advice!

Hey there,
I must disappoint you, but you will have to visit doctor. There is no way to be determined over web whether this is MS you are having.
As far as I can help, medical term for double vision is diplopia. You really need to get this checked with neurologist. I think you shall need to undergo MRI scan.
Sorry, I cannot tell you more, but I hope I helped at least a little.

| Hi-I am femaile 53 yrs old. I hAVE SEVERE DIABETES BUT i HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE mARCH-MOSTLY DUE TO PAIN IN BOTH UPPER ARMS-I have severe pain in my upper arms which gotten larger and hard-pain goes into neck in front of chest and back up into jaw. Calfs have also gotten bigger and thigh muscles get very hard. When I try and smile my face has spasms just like my upper arms-they say I have severe carpal tunnel, neuropathy and arthritis. I just am afraid it is something else. I have trouble with my balance and have fallen 3 times in the last year. (I always feel like I am going tp topple over. My memory is also being affected. Can you help? |

| Hi. I am 27. My MOm had MS. I had double vision off and on for about two years. It comes and goes. The optitritian said is was just "eye migranes" due to stress. I was not stressed! I talked my family doc into ordering an Mri. There are plaques on my brian and I might just have MS. My neurologist appt is next week. You should be seen by a neuro and get an MRI. Good Luck. |

| I'm 29 years old, and have been diagnosed with MS for 1 1/2 years. I woke up one morning with double vision...seeing everything side by side...went to the eye doctor later that morning, and he told me to get checked for MS. I was diagnosed shortly after that. My double vision lasted about 2 weeks. It was followed with an electrical sensation down the front of my legs every time I put my chin to my chest (looked down). I recommend to anyone experiencing diplopia to get checked out/get an MRI...Now I can look back and recognize other symptoms I've experienced since my early 20's, but not as easily picked up by doctors as MS related. I suffered with anxiety attacks, on and off, for about a year when I was 21. I've gone through boughts of extreme fatigue, with no explanation. When I was diagnosed, the doctor told me there were about 6 or 7 areas showing past activity. The spot on my optic nerve was the most predominant, being the most recent exacerbation. I'm sure there are clinics or ways to get help with medical expenses. Do not let MS go unchecked. Halting progression in the earliest stages is important. |
