Do I Have MS If I Have Blurred Vision And Leg Numbness?

Three days ago I realized that I had blurry vision in my right eye. Today I've had that leg falling asleep feeling twice. I went to the doctor and she did a neuro exam and it was normal but I'm still having a lot of anxiety about MS or something serious.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having blurring of vision and numbness of legs.
Multiple sclerosis is because of demyelination of the nerve fibres. Optic neuritis is associated with high risk of development of multiple sclerosis.
It is unlikely that the symptoms you are having is because of multiple sclerosis. Hence no need to worry.

Thank you
