Guest guest Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Hello everyone, I am new here. I'm concerned after having several symptoms that I might have MS. Am hoping someone can tell me if they have experienced these and if they think this sounds like it or not. I'm 50 now. At age 14, I woke up and couldn't see properly. I have several blind spots in my left eye, to this day. They said optic neuritis. They did a spinal tap back then, (this was 1977), but said no MS. Much more recently, I have bilateral muscle cramps and muscle weakness. Most alarming is when, after sitting for a period of time, (like driving), and then standing up, the weakness overcomes me and I must sit down again, (right away!) Muscle weakness, after rest! I wake up with this as well, more often than not, lately. It is accompanied by shortness of breath. Fatigue, 24/7. I've had that for years. Occasional light-headedness. Past blood tests reveal an HLA-B27 antigen, significant to autoimmune disease. Memory/forgetfulness as well. I would like to hear your thoughts, anyone who would like to respond. I appreciate your reading this. Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
