Steve,

welcome to the forum, i have the same exact symptoms
as you, I am so clumbsy I hate it and i am always word
searcing. I first became sick 3 years ago with optic
neuritis, along with other symptoms. my latest mri
showed my first lesion a few months ago.

Have you had and mri? do you still have a neruo dr?
hopefully you can find a dr that takes your symptoms
seriously. i have been through many dr's sonme told me
it was all psychological and one dr accused me of
faking my symptoms why would I do something like that,
i love my newest newro and optho drs. don;t give up
and advocate for yourself it took me almost 2 years to
find a dr I trust and like. hope you are well

Nicole
