Babinski on both sides now
Hi all,
I had a left sided Babinski reflex last month at my last neuro appt. (my right side was normal)
Today My GP did a few reflex tests, and I now have a right side Babinski sign, in addition to my left side. She did it many times to double check...
I see my neuro in two weeks, so I will follow up with him and ask him about it then, but I am just wondering, what does that suggest? My right side Babinski reflex was okay at my last neuro visit.
I have been dealing with tons of symptoms, but frankly, with work, family, lupus, and now m.s, I really have tried to put m.s out of my mind. I haven't moved forward with any m.s related stuff whatsoever.
So, here is my question: have any of you experienced something like this, and what does it suggest? Maybe my disease is progressing?

I would hesitate to guess what this might mean and I'm glad you have this next appointment scheduled. We do know that even if we are on a therapy for our MS, it is still progressing - sometimes silently in small ways and not always in dramatic form.
Sorry, but I don't remember - are you on an MS therapy now?
