Regroup...

[Heather3418]

I need to regroup.  I need your assistance.  With as fast as people are coming to the board, I cannot keep up with everyone.  So I'd like to ask, maybe it would be easier for all of us, if we could list our "forum names;" "diagnosed or undiagnosed;" and if not MS, then what your doctors are saying that you have.  If you would like, also put your age if you feel comfortable doing so, so it can give us all an idea just by looking, what "age group" these symptoms and diagnosis are affecting.

I'll start....

SOONERMOM (Stacey) age 39   undiagnosed

growing numbness/paresthesias head to foot on left side since 10/07, multiple white matter lesions, saw MS specialist this week--said only small chance it is MS.  He found 2 abnormal neuro tests--left reflex is hyper and something w/my eyes and the color red--he is sending me for eye exam to rule out susac's--thinks my problem may be vascular

Had 3 mri's done in over 10 years first 2 neg, the 3rd positive for MS. Had symptoms since I was 27. (I was told at every flare up that it was diabetes and depression) Every few years MS comes and leaves a bad taste. This last one has never gone away just getting worse.
I'm very shy!!
