Im confuse!??

[memere_morin]

Hi, I need some help here. Im a female and 27 years old, im married and have 1 daughter. I wanna know if there's a possibility of MS. It all started after i was 2 weeks at the hospital for a serious infection of my endometrios. My white cells were at 22 and the next at 26, the normal is around 9-10. They gave me IV antibiotics. Then 3 days after, it started suddendly, i went to the bathroom and i wasn't feeling well at all...i was a little dizzy, but i thought maybe it was the antibiotics, since i had 4 different of meds ... so i scratch my thigh and hip, and i noticed it was numb and it felt like it was frozen. The numbness went trough all my leg and feet, and it was on my left side. So i told the nurses and the took a look at the area ,and they say that they dont see anything red or abnormal, but they will put it in notes. The next night , ive experience something really freaky, i was sleeping and suddendly the numbness was going all to my limbs,then the arms,my back, and even my head. So i opened my eyes to get the remote for the nurse, and i couldn't, cause it felt like i was paralize, it did that for about 5 min i think. And we i opened my eyes, it my room it was all blurry,fuzzy, and  it was shimmering, shacky. I was really scared. When the nurses came and check but by the time they came, it wasn't doing it anymore. So they say it might be the medications.
The days pass, still having problems at the initial symptom, then i was experiencing some weakness , and trouble with my balance, dizziness, fatigue all day, and at night had a hard time sleeping because of the pain in my hip,thigh ,lower back. I jsut felt exhausted. I also had every single day some pin and needles sensation in my left hip and thigh, it was icthing,tingling burning ,electric choc sensation. The tingling was going down my left limb until my footh. It felt that my foot was cold. When i was taking showers, just the hot water going on my left limb was painful, alot of sensation of electric choc, maybe the hot water was doing that?? and then loss of my hair...and still do.
Then the doctor came and told him, what is wrong with me? He told me that i looks like MS, and he talk to a Neurologist to ask him is opinion and they both think it's that, but they need to run some more test. So they try a teatment that they give for MS patients and the medication is ''Solmedrol'', after 3 days, it didnt help at a 100% , so they decided to give it for 2 more days. After that it help but not like i thought.
They sent me to pass a CT scan of my head and of the hip. Both were negative.
They Sent me for an MRI of the brain, and No sign of white spots or MS, so everything is negative.

After i got out of the hospital , i didnt felt better. The day after, i was having vertigo, and loss of balance and coordination, i had a hard time, so i was lying down for a bit, and it's then i experience the vertigo. I had lots of nausea also. Im also tired all day. I have a hard time to go to sleep because im having pain in my left hip and limb and thigh, no posture. Well it's been almost a month since all those symptoms ,and today i still experience them ,but especially the numbness in my left thigh,and my visions as change a little and i also have black spot that i see every where i look, i never had that before and it's bothers me, because when i reading ,or looking at tv,etc... it's there and annoying. i have some foggy moments too.

So we went to see my family doctor and he told me that i wasn't MS at all, because the MRI didn't show anything abdnormal and the CT Scan too. He made me feel like it was just all in my head. And for the numbness in my left thigh, well he thinks it looks like a ''Bursitis'' but he doesent understand why i have numbness there,burning,tingling,choc sensation. He wants to give an injection of cortisone in the next days to see if it helps.

So I was wondering, could he be wrong?? because i dont have any answer about my symptoms ansd the way i feel every day.

My uncle as MS for a long time now, and the doctors had a hard time to diagnose him, it took very long before he was diagnose. Im my case ,could it be because it's to early to detect??? or is there something else?? I forgot to tell you, i saw a neurologist and he chek me and he told me ''you don't have nothing wrong and they is no case of a neurologic disease here''. He didn't chek my left tigh...oh well i was really dissapointed because he couldnt tell me what did all this symptoms. And nobody Know's!!!! Is there any one who can help try to figure this out, i need some answers. Thanks alot xo

Hi Denise,  welcome and I am sorry to hear of your miscarriage and suffering, and then having to deal with such a doctor. I can never understand it. I will tell you, that I went through a major Post Traumic Stress situation after going into labor prematurely and then a diabetic coma. What you are describing sounds nothing like being caused from stress even though you must be on overload with all you've had to deal with. (((cyber hugs))). I would strongly state at your next doctor visit, H*** yeah I'm depressed and upset, wouldn't you be!  Ok, so you probably can't say it like that, but it would be nice wouldn't it.
It took me 4 1/2 years to be diagnosed with a combo of three mimics - Chronic Ebstein Barr virus, Diabetic neuropathy and stroke (thought to be caused by a hole in the heart). I have been continuously ill since my pregnancy.

Hang in there

Jazzy

I agree with you, im tired too tonight, well every single day. My Dr called me on sept 29 , to meet him at the hospital to give me an Cortison injection for my hip. The next thing he told me, that all of my sign and symptoms that i wrote to him, well it looks like im doing an depression....  '' r u serious??''  because what i've been trough. Since i've had a miscarrige on July 2 /2007. After 6 weeks of my miscarriage , i got an severe infection ''Endometritis'' and then 3 days after i had the sign and symptoms that i've told you about in my first paragraph.. and then all my CT's and my Brain MRI was all negative, well he can't find what cause my pain,numbness,tingling,really im in pain, so he thinking maybe it's a ''Mental Ilness'' or a ''physical Ilness'', and then he told me that im doing a DEPRESSION and he made me feel that my hip pain was all in my head.!!!!!

I agree that im always tired, no energy ..blah blah etc...i cant name them all. Maybe im doing a depression and i just dont realized it.

I have another thing to tell you, he wanted me to put ice on my left hip and thigh for about 10 minutes every 4 hours. That's find with me ,but everytime i put ice, it hurts alot, jsut dosen't fell comfortable and then after like 3 hours or 4 after i putted ice, well my skin is still very cold, and i still have numbness too. Maybe it;s an Circulation problem that i have now.....

Im am really confuse, i just feel that my Dr thinks im inventing this pain in my hip.....

I'm new on here to Denise and know exactly what you are going through. I have not yet been diagnosed and am so greatful that I found this forum. My neuro has been of no help to me. I am now in the process of trying to find a new one. You'll find great support and though it takes time, do read the other threads in here. There is an incredible amount of information. I'm still trying to read it all.
Hope you feel better soon

Hi, Denise.  I am feeling better and I will answer your questions as well as I can tonight.  I do have some ideas.  This is definitely NOT all in your head!  I also do not think this is merely trochanteric bursitis.  That sounds ridiculous!  You are suffering and I hope we can help you.

Your English is excellent.  Do you speak both languages?

I will be back later.  Quix

I dont' know if you can help with this question. Is it possible that my symptoms were to early do detect on a MRI and didn't show any lesions on my MRI. !!! im just not convince that i have a Trocanteric Bursitis on my left hip and thigh, and the symptoms that i experience at the hosptial for almost 2 weeks, and came back after i got out Sept 5 2007.

Thanks,
Denise
