6% had relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis, 9.4% primary progressive multiple sclerosis and 6% clinically isolated syndrome. Nearly 40% of our multiple sclerosis patients with disease duration >10 years (mean = 16.2 ± 5.3 years) remained with no or mild disability (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS] 3). Also, about 30% of patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis showed benign disease evolution (EDSS 3) more than 20 years (mean = 24.0 ± 3.3) after onset.

One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?

Having these sensory symptoms in multiple locations, or the recurrence of similar symptoms in different locations is a hallmark symptom of multiple sclerosis, so your doctor will likely ask about the past history of similar symptoms to assess the likelihood of multiple sclerosis as a diagnosis (see symptoms of multiple sclerosis).

Defining the clinical course of multiple sclerosis: results of an international survey by Fred D. Lublin and Stephen C. Reingold for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA) Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials of New Agents in Multiple Sclerosis. In Neurology. 1996 Apr;46(4):907-11. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8780061 Anyway, up until that point clinical trials were hampered by a lack of agreement on the types of MS and the definitions of those types.

Hi Limbo land friends, I have finally recieved a confirmed diagnosis that I do in fact have Multiple Sclerosis. So I will be leaving you all. I hope and pray that each one of you find peace and good health. It is in Gods hands or so they tell me. Thank you all for the support and helpful information. I will be moving on to the Multiple Sclerosis group now.

After almost a year, I have had all relevant tests [according to Neurologist]. All I have been told is that I have had strokes. He has dismissed MS as a diagnosis, he says this is because the LP, Evoked Potentials and scan of carotid arteries were all normal. He appears to have not taken into account the physical and neurological symptoms that I am still experiencing. I have been discharged from his clinic! And feel that he has been very dismissive.

I am in the process of being evaluated for multiple sclerosis due to many white spots on my MRI and eye troubles. I have a few things I have noticed for many years but didn't think much about until now: I frequently shudder with a feeling of a chill for a few seconds at a time. Occasionally, I space out for a moment and then come back sometimes in the middle of conversation. I sometimes experience a very sharp stabbing pain in my abdomen that lasts for about 30 seconds.

Hi, The possibility that may be very close to your symptoms could be Multiple sclerosis. It is a demyelinating disease that affects the nerves of brain and spine. The symptoms are loss of balance, headaches, vision problems, muscle twitching and weakness, and many others. The disease may not be diagnosed in a single MRI. A series of MRI may be required. Lumbar puncture may be necessary to rule out the disease.

It is possible that I had/have undiagnosed multiple sclerosis, and then when I started treatment the interferon kept the MS from progressing?

Vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with peripheral neuropathy, which causes tingling, and numbness, overlapping symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic demyelinating neurological disorder where the disease phase is characterized by active phase and remissions. It has multiple symptoms and signs and is a diagnosis of exclusion.
