Since my diagnosis in 2010 I have come across several friends and family members who have Multiple Sclerosis. One of the most basic things anyone could learn about this disease is that everyones symptoms are different. My mom has been diagnosed with MS for 21 years. Lately, I have developed a calling to learn more about other peoples MS since I am aware they arent exactly like mine. In speaking with my mother, she explained that her biggest MS symptom that others can not tell by looking at her is optic neuritis or better know as double vision. This happens when the nerves in the eye become inflamed. I can remember being a little girl and my mom went completely blind in her right eye. Since then she has not regained her sight in that eye and has optic neuritis in the other. This is is similar to what she sees in her "good" eye
