Fainting and MS ?

[msgrandmaval]

New Here. 59 yr old gm waiting for all the tests results and then dx consult w/ Neuro. Do know MRI showed lesions.
He is testing me for everything (good thing, there can be more  than one dx!) At this time, I believe MS is going to be the major dx. (not really a shock, as in the last 16 yrs I have had several episodes of different symptoms, all treated w/out conclusive answers) Today I had the tilt table test for the very short loss of consciousness I have been having this yr. Results: orthostatic hypotension. When I look this up, it is a symptom rather than a disease. Have you heard of this being common in MS? I have a ton of other ?s, but will read this great forum while waiting for answers. TYVM!

GMV, nice to have you here while you wait.  Your story sounds WAY too familiar to me.  My own journey to diagnosis (which came one year ago tomorrow) can be found in summary form on my profile page.  

So you're from Texas?  Born and raised there?  I'm thinking you might become a resource to help me understand the Aggie I married.  (Yeah, like that's going to happen now, after 37 years.)

Welcome to our community, no matter what the outcome.

We just had a little discussion about this very thing a couple days ago. In a word, yes. And welcome!
