On Dec.17,2008 I had an attack in which produced a MRI with nothing on it and a neuro telling me that I was too old to have MS. My GP suggested MS. I am 52 years old. 30 years ago I had a high fever that the Dr. said was the flu. Other family members had the same illness. After that I experienced many vision problems. I also had almost all of the symptoms of ms through the years at different times. My dr always went the lupus route and ms was never mentioned to me.My neuro said I had a stroke but I feel I might have ms. Two weeks ago my daughter had a severe stomach virus. I took the virus also which affected my balance and coordination. My gp ordered another mri and said I had a stroke. He wants me to have cardiac tests performed to find the cause of the stroke. Is it possible that I could have had ms all these years and also had a stroke or could the lesions on my mri be mistaken for a stroke? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
