No eye issues. MS effects 3 areas: brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve. Site of inflammation produces symptoms. This is why everyone is different and MS is unpredictable.

apparently every MS case is different, only after having a major onset which landed me in the hospital then 20 days later I was diagnosed with MS. My neurologist claimed it take 3 things to claim you have MS #1 MRI of the brain showing lesions #2 Spinal tap showing, something related to MS not sure what it is called and #3 Blood work showing something leading toward MS I don't the name again, sorry.

Then he proceeded to tell me that no one gets MS over night it lead up to 4 to 5 year of little symptoms like everyone one has talked about already. unfortunately It sound like your headed toward MS

There is no proof, but the statistic say a lot Stress can cause what ever is laying dormant in your DNA to bloom. Looking back and connecting all the dots I believe this to be true in my case.

MS means you have to many white blood cells and then attacks the weakest part of your body usually the eyes or hearing in my case it was the spine.

Sorry I forgot to answer your question, yes if you read my short story of my event, my issue was numbness climbing up my body, each day growing 10 inches upward starting in my feet, but only the outer skin was numb.
I could still walk just fine till about day 14 I started walking bow leg with caution more and more

My biggest issue was like having trouble going to the bathroom and not able to feel my privet parts and was terrified that I was going to haft installed a colon bag on my waist and then haft to wear that the rest of my life. none of that happen thank God.
