In waiting for DX

[rosied51]

I posted earlier about no contrast MRI vs contrast MRI. For months now I have been literally staggering , when iItry to stand I teeter forward or sideways,plus alot of burning pains in my legs, alot of tingling in my arms, back and even around my face. I also have floaters and sometime eye socket pain, I have had ear buzzing for some time now yrs actually,ear Dr said ear bone on right ear is smaller than other side. There are nights I can not lay my legs down because they hurt so bad feels like they are on fire. I already ahve osetprorosis of the spine and ostepena of the left hip. I have Vitamin D deficiency suppose to take 50,000 vitamin D for 8 weeks then can go on lower dose. I have had numerous tests like no contrast MRI, EMG of the lower spine CT scan but yet no answers. My regular primary Dr ordered me a quad cane because when she saw how bad my balance was she said I didn't know you've gotten this bad. she called it a drunken stagger gait.If I don't use the cane I will be into walls or furniture, I mean I literally fall over sideways or forwards.Neuro is running so many tests and keeps saying MS but nothing DX yet.

Well with all my symptoms I forgot to put in there about the way my legs lose strength I mean from my knees down I will be standing and then all of a sudden my legs will buckle. Yesterday they were very weak I did alot of staggering, very bad day yesterday. What else could this be if is not MS and what other test could they do to give a DX.

Hi RosieD,
Now that the doctor sees your condition, I sure hope that will help to cinch a dx of some sort.  Have they done all the testing for the MS mimics? The wait for a dx can be the worst.

I don't really see a question in your post here so if there something specific you needed answer, please let us know.

my best,
Lulu
