Other sx
As I read more and more information on this site, I realize that there are many things I should have mentioned to the neuro. Can esophageal spasms be a symptom of MS? I had to start carrying around nitroquick to try and ease them.
Also someone mentioned ear sx--last week at my daughter's I was talking and suddenly it sounded like I was in a huge cave with an echo or something-a very strange first. Have had tinnitis off and on a long time.
I suppose I should get over the fear of being seen as a hypochondriac and report everything. Not everything is Due to getting old... LPT

Thanks so much for the comments. I'm learning a great deal from the Health Pages, too. And it's nice to know 55 is not so old, really...(and I'm one of those who had a baby at nearly 40, so sometimes I get the "Is that your granddaughter?" comment...yikes!). After feeling badly for so very long, it's hard to know what to mention or what not to mention. Take care,

Dear lpt,
Hello, I don't believe we've met before. Welcome to the best family you'll ever meet.
I have the same sensation and temporary loss of hearing. No answers this far though. the neuro-otologist brushed it off as he was more interested in my central origin vertigo.
I'm sorry you have this as well. It's annoying and scary when it happens because at least in my case my "good" ear doesn't pick up the slack. I can hear fine if I change the phone to the "good" ear but echoing continues in the bad ear. I have had both ears affected at different times. My MS neuro didn't have any real answers.
Please let me know if you get any answers.

I started being told I should expect my body to misfunction as a result of aging when I was still in my thirties. It took way too long for me to question that idea. When I did, I looked around and noticed people older than me were doing bunches more stuff than I could. I accepted a lowered standard of performance for my body many years before it's warrenty should have expired.
I do find it interesting that it's usually doctors close to my age who suggest advancing years are a reasonable explanation for things like extreme fatigue, irregular heart beats and muscle weakness. I finally have my answer prepared if this happens again. It's a question really --- So how many times a week does this happen to you doctor?
In reality, it's often hard to say with certainty if what is happening to us is or isn't a symptom of MS. I don't think we've met before here so I don't have a good idea about what you are dealing with right now. I'll have to look around and see what I've missed about your story.
In the mean time, have you located the Health Pages? You might find them to be more helpful than posting individual questions if you are just starting your journey with MS. There is one specifically about preparing for your first neuro appointment and another about how to develop a timeline of symptoms.
