Hi Tammy,
Well personally if it was me, I would go and find another Neuro who will listen to you.
I cannot understand how or why these Neuros are so quick to dismiss anyone with these problems. Am also sorry to hear about you kidneys playing up too.
Concentrate on one thing at a time that is my advice.
Take care tammy, and please keep us posted,
Hugs,

I know how hard everything is so I'm really not sure what to tell you besides Good Luck & take care the best you can! It's so hard when you already feel horrible & all the Dr's do is make you feel worse instead of helping... AArgh! Hope you can find somebody to give you answers, atleast the other Drs seem to want to find out MORE! Seems like they all should?! But guess that would be too EASY??? LOL
Hope you have an alright day :) Live, Laugh, Love (all I know to do anymore)...
Thoughts & Hugs

I'm so sorry that your neuro blew you off. I get so mad when I hear of another one doing that. Thank goodness you have a good pcp and kidney doctor. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you for your support!! Wobbly, I have 18 lesions scattered through the periventrical & subcortical regions but the one thats 6 mm is in the centrum semivole. The neuro said my lesions weren't spread out like fingers so there was no way that its MS, but my PCP & kidney Dr. disagree with her & also with the explanation of the aging process. I saw my PCP yesterday & he said 18 lesions don't just appear in 11/2 yrs from aging & without a cause especially since I'm having all these symptoms. 2 Yrs ago I could walk, now I have to use a cane & a wheelchair if its very much distance.The neuro seem to quit looking after they say no to MS. I really appreciate all of you! I don't know about dialysis yet. I see the kidney Dr on the 11th & I guess I'll find out about my bloodwork & renal ultrasound then.Evidently he thinks I have an autoimmune process going on too. I went from stage 2 to stage 4 kidney disease in 16 months. My 1st kidney specialist didn't keep up with me very well & I was told kidney disease was a slow process . My new kidney Dr was irritated that I was allowed to progress this far so quickly.
Thank you all again! I love each & everyone one you! Thanks for the prayers & please keep them coming!! Take care & God bless!! Love, Tammy
Tammy,
I am so sorry for all you are going through! Keep on keeping on, even though it is so frustrating! I am sorry to hear about your kidney disease. That is very scary and I am glad you have a good kidney doc.
Please take good care, and I will be thinking about you,

We love you Tammy and know full well what you are going through right now with these nimkumpoop neuros. Take care of that kidney problem and put MS aside for now like you plan.
We always need your input and encouragement and for that we hope you will stay with us. When the right time comes, and hopefully with the help of your kidney doc, you will find a good neuro who will look beyond his/her nose for answers on your case.
Hang in there with us while you work through this.
Love and hugs,
Julie
Tammy,
I sure wish these neuros would at least take some time and try to find the cause of your problems instead of dismissing you with the NO MS dx. Its good you have the gp and kidney docs who will help you with those problems.
yes, please stick around and lend a hand. You are becoming an expert on limbo, even though you don't want to be.
be well,
Lulu
this must be so frustrating for you... I'm glad you are seeing a Dr for your Kidney ..I hope things go well for you with that part.
I think you need another opinion on your results.. or more testing for Lupus etc... any mimics.. 6mm in what area of your brain...??
do you have copies of your MRI and report? hang in there and let us know how things progress with your kidney... hope you feel better soon
take care

Tammy,
So sorry for yet another fruitless neuro experience. Your kidney doc sounds like he knows what he's doing. He is right about the Lupus and kidneys. May sure you stick with the kidney doc as Stage 4 kidney disease is nothing to mess around with.
Will the kidney doc order any tests to rule out mimics for you?
You remain in my thoughts...sending only good thoughts and wishes your way.

Tammy,
I am so sorry for all you are going through.
