ms?

[Critta117]

I have had episodes of being tired migraines no balance nausea vertigo could not walk for nearly a month or drive this episode wad the worst lasting months in totall. Have had MRI scan which showed no brain lesions but a few in my spine neck area I have constant pain there and fatigue. The specialist that I have seen said I do not have m.s even though I have many symptoms and lesions I'm so confused don't know what to do next can anybody give advice?

Spinal lesions can be Primary Progressive MS but you may not have MS at all. I only bring it up because many neurologists know little about Primary Progressive MS. I went to a few neurologists before I had one who was an expert in it. Hopefully you do not have MS but is you go to a MS specialist ask when you are referred to get one who is well versed in PPMS. Also if you read about PPMS do not get freaked out. I have had it for over forty years and I am doing well.

Hello and welcome to the community.

First of all I just want to say that I'm sorry you are having any symptoms at all. It is not exactly a party when your body acts up.....

If you are concerned that you have MS then you should ask your doctor about the possibility of a Lumbar punture. In fact, you could just tell your doctor you want one.

I hope that you find the answers that you are looking for and soon.

Best,

Tom
