Hope is lost

I have experienced numbness of extremities tingling also I had an episode once where the left  side of my face was numb and tingly dr's did test found no evidence of stroke  nor heart attack. I have chronic low back pain that is concentrated around my backside.  I have stiff joints and pain daily yet none of the doctors can help or figure out what the cause is I really don't want to do a LP  just to hear that doctors still can't help me

Have you been tested for Celiac disease?  It's not commonly known, but your symptoms are of the sort that can be displayed with this autoimmune condition.  

I presume your GP has run the whole raft of usual blood tests when dealing with an unknown condition??

Hi and welcome,

Your post has landed in the MS community and personally the sx's you've mentioned, don't really sound like MS to me, so i'm not sure exactly how to help you. The only thing that your sx's 'combined' remind me of, are structural spinal issues and if you haven't as yet had tests to see if there are degenerative disc issues or joint issues etc, then it maybe a potential idea to get looked into.

Sorry I couldn't be of help!

Cheers.........JJ

I'm sorry you are feeling the frustration of finding answers for a mystery disease. Have you been referred to a neurologist? THat is the doctor you need to work with to shake out more clues.  I hope you get some answers - the lP is often standard with many different diagnosis and can tell a lot sometimes.  
Did the doctor mention MS?  I'm just wondering if that is what brought you here.

good luck with this next few steps.
