Have they done a lumbar puncture to rule out psuedotumor cerebri? (A buildup of cerebral spinal fluid, which causes symptoms similar to a brain tumor). The symptoms of MS and PTC mimic one another: blinding headaches, blurred vision, sometimes facial tics. I had a problem going down stairs, because of damage to my optic nerve. Also suffered from foot drop. A spinal pressure reading over 180 is clinical proof of the condition. The condition made me sensitive to migraines because of lasting damage to the optic nerve, but PCT is very dangerous and can lead to blindness if not treated promptly. After ruling out MS via a MRI, they should next rule out PCT. Sometimes a Ophthamologist can spot changes to your optic nerve during a dilated pupil exam, which might suggest PCT. That is good news.
