“My father's speech is getting slurred and he's losing his vision. Are these symptoms of MS?”
My father is 72 years old and lately he has slurred speech at certain times of the day. Besides he has also been complaining that he is unable to read clearly. Are these signs and symptoms of MS?

Could be but unlikely if starting at this age. Involvement of multiple cranial nerves suggests a polyneuropathy. Visual problems in association suggest several possibilities. He really needs to be evaluated by a neurologist before this gets worse.
Not at age 72.
