Eye problems?

Hi Tree65 (my avatar would be perfect for your name!)... I have PPMS dx in 2008 and have never had ON. However, lots of people with PPMS do get ON, and like with RRMS it's often the first symptom. So, as with all MS, there is no rule. It's different for everyone.

I do have double-vision which varies by the day, but no sign that I have ever had ON (and fingers crossed that I don't). Some people with PPMS don't ever have eye problems, inc double-vision... others do. 

Not a dumb quesion at all. MS is so complicated I don't think anybody understands it fully!

Welcome to the PPMS board and feel free to ask any quesions at all. Remember, like with all types of MS, PPMS affects everyone differently. It's a case of getting to know your own MS. 

Take care,

Hi Tree65,

Very much agree with Pat, some with ppms get ON and others don't. I have read that it is a less common symptom of ppms however. I do occasionally get fuzzy vision that lasts about 10 minutes. This has always come when I have overdone things and I am tired. There is no such thing as a dumb question when it comes to ms, it is so complex and varies so much all questions are valid. Sometimes it is good when someone asks questions because the replies help lots of other people too. I hope you get a definate diagnosis and remember we are here to listen and to help.

Take care,
