Hello,
I found this forum and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask since my doctor has stopped responding to calls and its at least 3 weeks to see her (GP).
I am a 33 y/o female who was sent 2 weeks ago for an MRI to check for lesions as myself and the doctor were suspecting MS due to reoccurring tremors, to the bone "BURNING" pain in arms and feet and numbness. According to the Doctor's receptionist, the MRI was clear (a copy of the report has been mailed to me), however I am now at 2.5 weeks of pain in my left eye that I went to have checked Saturday at the eye doctor. After 2 hours and numerous tests and optic photos, I was diagnosed with Optic neuritis and told I will need IV steroids, but that either the GP or the eye specialist (whom he referred me to, and I know personally - she's my sons eye surgeon), will have to send me for it.
I am concerned that the MRI was "clear" but that this was diagnosed as well. I do have an appointment to see the neurologist, but that is not until July 30. There was no contrast used in the MRI either, so Im not sure if that makes a difference.
Am I just driving myself crazy for no reason, or is it possible for this to be clear, but still in the early stages (?) of MS?
I have 2 young children, and this pain, and these tremors worry me, and turn me into a terrible crank, and frankly that isn't my kids fault!
Thanks for reading.
