diagnosing MS

[aruebel]

After complaining of alot of syptoms I was tested postive for the Epstien Barr Virus. Now several months later having the same issues but worse I was diagnosed with a B12 defeciency. This is threw 2 different dr.'s(in the same office).
After researching I came accross MS symptoms and I have EVERY single one! Just wondering what the chances would be of having MS.
Thank you

It is kind of rare that anyone ever has every symptom for MS.  MS is a disease that rarely follows the rules.  It seems to rewrite the rule book every chance it gets,  I have a lot of sensory issues, but only some limited motor issues with spasticity.  The sensory issues I do have are whoppers though:  Optic Neuritis, Trigeminal Neuralgia,  burning left arm and both feet.  None of those on there own say MS to any doctor.  Those with one lesion 6 months ago and 4 new ones last month changes things.

Two well documented attacks in different areas separated by one month and an increase in the number of periventricular T2 non-enhancing lesions demonstrates the dissemination in space and dissemination in time that the neurologist was looking for.

Two attacks and the MRI changes were really what were needed.   And even with this, it is still "Probable RRMS."  That is about the best I can expect to get unless the disease gets worse.  I'd rather take the DMD and prevent that if possible.

B12 deficiency could explain your symptoms. Get treated for it and see how you feel.
