I just wanted to say hi to all , and add very interesting article , which some of you may find very interesting .
I am not Dx , although I was once , by MS specialist , than he was not sure about his own conclusion . Than my second Neuro wanted to see me on DMD , regardless of next MRI results , only to back off upon new radiologist reading which stated - no significant changes comparing with previous 08 study -' . I have not been Dx , because I don't display visible changes or to say precisely left over from previous exacerbation , or additional lesions load on my MRI . I do have cervical lesion and thoracic , if I can trust the opinion of
the Neuro doc who is old and spent last 50 years dealing with radiology images and neurological diseases .
My MRI and some neurological examination consistent with MS as stated by MS specialist .
I also have nystagmus , anisocoria , positive Romberg . All other tests typical in MS probability were conducted and all are clear and negative .
There is not much more I could test . I am looking for a Neuro doctor who can listen and think in the same time , maybe even take some notes , since some of them don't remember what they say .
I am 52 years old from north European country , and I am fighting depression caused directly by changes in my brain , since 20 years , way before I knew what MS is , much less that I may have it .
Here is this article , which I find extremely helpful .
