Newly diagnosed benign ms

hi there this is my first post I have very recently been diagnosed with benign ms it all started back 12-13 years ago when I had optic neuritis and was told it could be a early sign of ms which I didn't give a second thought to being only 19-20 years of age. Then in 2010 I had facial numbness which was put down to a slight b12 deficiency. In April 2017 when I had numbness in my face which progressed to vision problems in my right eye and leg vibrations after walking I had a brain MRI at the beginning of June we're my doctor said ms looked likely. I had my neuro appointment the beginning of August who looked at my scans and found lesions did a examination of me and my eyes and was told I had a clinical diagnosis of ms does this sound like other people's way of getting diagnosed as I thought I would need all sorts of other tests etc? Thank you Amy :)

Hi Amy, I too was diagnosed this year and I also had ON age 21. Knew the possibilities but didnt dwell back then. Then I started with what I now know to be partial seizures in 2012 and 2 weeks ago had 2 days of having to hold on to things as I was so unbalanced. I think every case is unique in the way it progresses so comparisons are hard to draw. Not takinv meds for MS. This may change after the unsteadiness...take care

Neurologists reference the MacDonald report to show how they confirm MS.
