hey i can relate to some of the symtoms you guys have had, for the past year i had been feeling exhausted and drained of energy i also felt some kind of dizziness not vertigo tho it was more just a sense of confusion and light headiness and it was extremly had to concentrate at work i guess it made me feel dumb.
For the past 6 weeks i have been feeling back to normal and it has been great i had been seeing a osteopath for treatment on my back and neck and it seemed to be helping a little but it was till i saw a lady that did kinesiology and reflexology that i felt the greatest change and it happened so quick i was feeling back to normal within a few days and this was such a releif as i thought i was going to be like this forever as i seen numerious docters and had heaps of test's i even has a sinus op because they thought that could have been the cause. The lady gave me these zapper things aswell that u use once a day to kill any parasites that are in your body i think that this was one of the main causes. Anyway i hope this is helpful
I'm having the same symthoms. Now for 3 months. Also had almost all of these examinations(mr, vep,Er, baep). I suggest you to see a virologist, as for example now it is said that for me, the dizzyness might have been caused by a virus , called citomegalo. It might have caused a brain-fever without actual fever. Though I'm still not sure. Ms is not really possible, as the dizziness there is only for days, than you have other sympthoms. And also MS have to have at least two signs a mr.( as it is multiplex). I hope you had a 3tesla mr
As for me I1m still not well. hoping the new diagnosis is correct. Any suggestions are welcome.
I have many of the same symptoms you have. I've been to so many doctors and have had mris and i have optic neuritis and myelin degeneration. I frequently have panic attacks and feel like i can't function around others. Sometimes i feel like i have a twitch and sometimes i have a flashing light in the eye with optic neuritis. The MRI showed no signs of lesions in the brain and like you i feel like i am wasting time doing nothing about what is wrong with me. I feel so helpless. Sometimes i wake up with my heart racing and i feel shaky and confused and don't know whether to laugh or cry. Most mornings i find it hard to get out of bed and i feel so tired all the time. I mostly get full nights of sleep but by the middle of the day i feel so fatigued that i could pass out. I often get headaches too and am in debt from going to the doctor and i don't know what to do. any advice?
jen, she was abt 35 when she was diagnosed but had been going to dr.'s for 10 yrs trying to find out why one leg sorta dragged....she had been in small motorcycle accident in her teens and hurt her ankle so of course we thought it was that....but then I had some old age problems with my eyes and she started having some of my symptoms and it scared her and she went to optometrist....when she moved one of her eyes in a certain direction, she had pain and he immediately sent her to retina specialist who immediately sent her to neurologist bcu of optic neuritis being diagnosed and Neuro ordered the MRI and it showed the lesions on her brain......I was with her when she had spinal tap, it wasn't traumatic in any way...........I think MS is much more common than most realize....been awhile since I did all my reading but I think 60% or more never get to wheelchair stage, I sat with a woman abt 70 yrs old at tennis match recently and she had MS and you would never know it....... my daughter wouldn't accept you couldn't strengthen your immune system and she didn't eat anything that wouldn't build her immune system......right now (after 10 more years) she is in full remission and enjoying a very busy life and does eat a choc chip cookie on a regular basis...........I would never recommend anyone not taking the medicine but my daughter is very petite and she made the decision after a few yrs not to take it and felt better....that has been several yrs past.......with 5 children and 11 grands...we have all degrees of problems and what keeps me going is: Nothing can ever seperate me from the love of God and He will never ever leave me or forsake me and He will give me the strength to face the trials of today and tomorrow.........may you soon get the answers you need and may you experience Peace....grmamaPete
Thank you for responding to my post. I am just so concerned that I might wake up and not be able to see or walk at all.
How long did it take for your daughter to be diagnosed with MS?
Not that I am sure myself that is what it is, but everything else has been ruled out.
I have been reading that early care is important and I feel that I am just wasting time.
My neurologist told me he would like to do a spinal tap only if I am ready for it.
It kind of scares me a little.
Thanks for the prayer. I feel better all ready today :)
I just want to say I am so sorry.....it is so hard for these things to be happening and not get a definite answer.....so many diseases/conditions mimic each other......I can see where they would keep checking you for MS, I have a daughter that was diagnosed with MS so am familiar with that disease......you are doing all you can do to find the problem.....if you are not already doing it, journal your symptoms everyday and stay with a neurologist that is familiar with you.....and do try and eat as healthy as you can,...I have picked you to pray for today.....grandmamaPete
Hi!
I can understand your problem due to which you are much confused.You have been visiting specialists and investigations have been done without any diagnosis.According to me you could be suffering from optic neuritis.Better to consult an ophthalmologist and a neurophysician .Hope this helps you. Take care !
