Eye appointment this Monday.... and I'm scared. [View all]

I don't what they're going to say. Am I going to lose my vision totally over time. Is it going to take surgery to correct, and if so, what is the success rate?

Add to it, I'm some strange shaking through my body lately. Some parts freeze up when they start and I have trouble breathing when they start.

I don't know if it's tied to the MS or something totally different. Like I need another problem.
