Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie and searching for answers. I honestly don't know where to start and I'm quite exhausted at the moment, so I will keep it brief. I have been having many many symptoms that have been pointing to MS for quite sometime now. I've been to numerous doctors only to be pushed to the side with no answers or the ever popular, "It's in your head" or "Just try not to think about it."
I saw a neurologist yesterday and he has scheduled VEP? and EKG for next Tuesday and an MRI for Wednesday. I've had several attacks in the last couple of months and really scary ones in the last couple of weeks. I had an MRI 3 years ago that was normal.
The symptoms just seem to keep coming, old ones that seem to just get worse and new ones that really scare me.
Vertigo, dizziness, numbness, tingling, loss of concerntration, memory loss, lack of coordination and balance, face pain, headaches, spasms, cramps, cold spots, stiff legs, muscle weakness, limping, staring off in space, pressure in ears, vision blurry, seeing spots and I know there is more. Sometimes I really feel crazy, but know my body and know this isn't normal.
I am in limbo about how I feel right now. Dreading a diagnosis like this, but strangely looking forward to answers. I read some of the threads and I felt so relieved that I seem to fit in somewhere. I pray God's blessings on you all and I thank you for taking the time to be a voice and a shoulder for others!!
Love and Prayers!
