Well it seems for once the fates have decided to give me a half-hearted break, and my neurologist thinks it is unlikely I have MS. This is due to lack of clear evidence for MS-related lesions on my MRI's. Given my long history of strict vegetarianism, it's probably B12 that is causing my brain and spinal cord to slowly become damaged, making my optic nerve go bad, my legs go weak, and my hands and feet go tingly. Fortunately this is able to be halted and it's likely I may even experience some improvement in my symptoms. Full recovery is unlikely due to the lenght of time before I started intramuscular B12.

That's not all however though. It seems I have a combination of slight scoliosis and Scheuermann's Disease. While the latter is not currently active (usually becomes mild when one reaches adult years) it predisposes me to Schmorl's nodes, which are herniations in the discs of the spine that can press into adjacent tissue, including soft vertebral body, muscle, tendons and the spinal cord. And I can report that this causes a lot of pain.
