Geez, I really dislike it when some one posts without a name...
Yes, your symptoms could be related to MS or there may be no connection at all.
If you already have a neuro then why hasn't a set of MRI's been done (or have they but you forgot to mention...?). A spinal tap might be a good thing to have done also.
All of your symptoms can be a result of various other diseases. Maybe you have more than one disease that is causing all these symptoms.

Rory has hit the "nail on the head" (so to speak). I know it is frustrating. But do get a second opinion from a neuro that specializes in treating patients with MS.
Good hunting,

Kim covered the basics for moving forward with getting a diagnosis for your symptoms. Most of us here know from personal experience the frustration that goes along with getting a correct diagnosis and then finding the right combination of drugs to help alleviate the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Try and find a neurologist that specializes in treating people with MS. This should go a long way in ending your frustration with getting a diagnosis.
Best,

After 4 years of frustration in trying to get a dx here in Alaska I made my own appointment with the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. After 5 days of exhaustive testing I had my dx. You guessed it, MS.
I would recommend them too.

What, you are getting new glasses? Cripes, now you will be able to read what we are really saying to you! Bummer, now I am going to have to behave myself!
Good news is always welcome here,

I also echo Kim's response to you. I have been reading your posts as you have been searching for a dx. I too wish for you the very best of outcomes with your disease.
Best,

There are all sorts homeopathic "remedies" out there for the treatment of MS. Unfortunately, none of them work. You might feel okay for a while, but the damage is still being done to your CNS.
But heck, it never hurts to look for alternatives for treatment. But please be careful of the snake oil sales people. They are looking for people just like you to take advantage of.

Okay, enough smart alec stuff! Yes, I feel weird too. Now, I may have been weird before the MS got me, but that was a different kind of weird, if you know what I mean.
Some times the world around me is confusing and as you said, slightly "out of focus". Not in a visual way out of focus but in a confused, what am I doing here kind of way. It can be frustrating as hell, or just mildly annoying, depending on what I am trying to do.
All we can do is to try and do our best to cope with what is at hand and let the rest go on by.

Good for you, I am glad you found something to give feelings back to you legs. Are you still taking the stuff? How long have you been on it?
Just curious,

Kim hit all the salient points in her response to you. I know you and your husband have already gone through 4 months of doctors negative results, but you will just have to grin and bear it somehow.
MS can be a very elusive disease to diagnose, especially if you are not seeing a neuro the specializes in treating patients with MS. You must find such a neuro. If you have to go out of town, or out of state to find one, then do so. The sooner your husband is diagnosed the sooner he can begin treatment.
Let us know how it goes, okay?
