i am undergoing testing, will have LP done soon. question: should i be pursuing any other diagnosis? (b-12 def, cervical disc, etc)
i have twitching,tingling, numbness that comes and goes. l'hermittes that i only feel in legs,bladder(shock-type sensation when i tuck my chin)
diagnosed foot drop.(wear afo) fatigue in hot weather. extreme intolerance to heat and cold. i do not sweat. muscle spasms and tightness, especially in legs. episodes of buzzing in hands, lips. bladder frequency and urgency(no uti) bowel problems(no rectocele or ibs)
i have had 5 mri's: brain shows small periventricular lesions, one 5-7mm lesion that since has diasppeared. cervical mri shows small bulge at c6-7 that they say is not the cause of sx. thoracic mri perfect. b-12 levels 912.
i think i have ms. neuro won't commit, says he does not know.
i am getting desperate for a dx. i need to continue work, have disabled husband.
i'm female 49 (sx stated 4 years ago, shortly after rabies series) take nexium, detrol, premarin, synthroid(levels checked every 6 mo) zanaflex and aspirin for sx. good health otherwise, history of mild migraines(seldom now)
what should i do? could it be anything but ms? and should i wait for other signs to show? thanks.
