Blurred vision

Has anyone experienced blurred vision? When I put my hand over on each eye I see clearly. I can't drive at the moment. I vape and have had to stop just in case it was that causing it,however I've had it before I vaped. I'm calling my doctors in the morning. Any advice would be appreciated.

My story

I guess I've kinda been lucky in a way. I was diagnosed back in the bad old days of the 80s, when the only treatment for MS in Australia was cortisone injections. I hate needles with a passion and when first diagnosed spent a lot of time talking to my doctors and to other patients to see what was av...

Pre-diagnosis, did anyone experience a progressive physical weakness and a general feeling of something is definitely wrong both mentally and physically but you can’t quite put a name to it & it’s a “I don’t feel good & I don’t know why” type of thing ? At times debilitating pain in the spine, wet ...

Really struggling. It’s almost 3am and I’m writing my thoughts down.

Since my last post I’m really struggling mentally and physically. My tremor has gotten even worse (arms and legs) but now I’ve noticed when I'm really tired my head has started as well. Im starting to feel nauseous and dizzy all of the time (like if you have stood up too fast but all of the time)....
