Hello all~ I am new to this community. My father was diagnosed with MS around 1970, so I have always had an intimate understanding of this horrible disease, and what it can do to both the people diagnosed and their families. I have had MS symptoms for many years, and have had utilized every justification and excuse as to why I don't have it. In 2008, a nurse I worked with pushed me into getting tested due to my constant clumsiness and falling. They called me Susi Slip and Fall. I was told after that MRI that nothing was wrong. I never read the reports(denial) and believed what i was told. I have always been forgetful, foggy brain however, a few weeks ago I realized I was having some serious cognitive decline, as well as increased fatigue that caused concern so I went to a different doctor. I also got the report from 2008. Apparently, I was not ok. It showed two lesions in right frontal white matter, an one high in the left frontal lobe. Stating MS is a possibility. The MRI I had Monday was written with somewhat different language that was not as clear. It seemed to same the same thing with Multiple Scloratic plaques or demyelinating disease as possible diagnosis. I have an appointment with the neurologist next week. Ugh the agony of waiting.
I am scared and looking for some support, and I have a question.
I have read all the posts on tingling etc. Many times my brain will feel like it's crinkling inside. Like a small electrical pulse that runs through my head from ear to ear or just I the back, many times it's all over my head. It doesn't hurt it's bothersome and frustrating. Does that sound like anything you all have had?
Sorry for blabbering long post. Thank you
