How To Confirm Multiple Sclerosis?
I am a 23 yo female. I woke had a change in vision in Feb of this year. After a couple weeks of blood work and MRIs it was determined that it was inflammation. One area on the optic tract and the other on right parietal. I did 3 days of IV steroids followed by 2 weeks of oral. My vision is better but not back to normal and it is 4 months later. I experience Uthoffs Phenomenon when I exercise or work out in the yard. My vision becomes significantly worse and my back tingles but returns to baseline when I cool down. My question is, what are my chances of this being MS?
