MS signifies "multiple" areas of involvement, and diagnosis is based upon changes in anatomical brain, eye, spinal cord locations, and changes in time, new and older lesions in central nervous system. The findings you describe do not fulfill the criteria at this point. Suggest a visit to an experienced neurologist to thoroughly evaluate the potential diagnosis.
