I was told that in 40% of the cases, it was the precursur of MS. I went many years w/o any other KNOWN physical symptoms that I traditionally associated with MS, but always feared it in the "back of my mind". Now I read that the risk for ON going to MS DOES NOT decrease over time. I thought that after 24 years, I was ok. Now I am putting things together. The ON in 1977. Benign hyperplasic prostitis in 1980, depression starting in 1987. Sleep problems exacerbated by 1990. Further depressive illness since 1991. Now the BHP causing nocturia. It all is coming together. SOOOOOO.... I decided it is time to face my fears. I have made an appointment with a Neurologist for next week. In 1977-78, they didn't have MRI technology, nor the understanding of T cell and other autoimmune response in MS. Oh Lord...someone tell me I'm doing the best thing.
