One official diagnosis!

I have horizontal Acquired nystagmus.

Now we need to find out why?!

I'm sure my Neuro has been on top of this.

Yea, one step closer to diagnosis!

I am in pain today but knowing I'm not crazy is such a relief.

If this makes any sense, I'm sorry and I'm glad. Sorry you have pain and nystagmus. Glad you have some answers and don't feel crazy. I think we all went through the feeling that we were crazy. Seems that you are a step closer to joining the wonderful ranks of those with MS.

Stepinup I get nystagmus. It comes and goes. MS is one of the only real reasons for this. You are getting closer to a diagnosis.

I'm sorry you are in pain today. As for the nystagmus, MS is one of the few causes of aquired nystagmus so, as others have replied, I also believe you are one step closer to diagnosis.

I remember when I was going through the diagnosis process, I just wanted to know what was causing my issues so I could start fighting it. It was a relief to find out it was MS, believe it or not. I had been afraid of much worse things because my imagination got carried away.
