I was just wondering when you think back over the days, weeks, or even years before you were diagnosed, do you think you had MS before you were officially diagnosed?

For me I think I had it waay before my diagnosis in 2010. It was first brought up when I lost my eyesight in 2006-2007 by my first eye dr but the primary at the time said no. So I think I've had it since 2006 instead of 2010.

Yes ! I sometimes think of things that were hidden signs of MS. Years way before I new. Maybe 10 0r more years. Little things you just shrug off.

Yes, I can see I had signs 10 years before they found it.

Yes. I was diagnosed in 1997 however I know I had MS as young as 14. When I was in school, and the teacher was writing on the board (yea, I just aged myself) my eyes would black out-sometimes for few minutes, sometimes for days. My parents had my eyes tested with a bozo result and glasses which obviously didn't help.
