brisk reflexes positive babinski

I had a regular physical for work about one year ago.  They found I had a right sided draft with my eyes closed.  At the time I was pregnant and we did an EEG (which as abnormal in the temporal lobe) and a MRI which was clean.  I went back for some more testing six months after the baby.  The EEG again abnormal and MRI clean, but the exam showed brisk reflexes, positive right-sided babinski, the right drift, and a decreased right eye blink with the left eye blinking more frequently.  I have classical migranes on a regular basis.  And lately I have very painful joint pain, low back pain, and fatigue.  The doctor that had originally sent me said it could possibly be MS and the Neuro doctor said maybe a mild case of CP undiagnosised as a chld.  Does anyone have any insights or tests I should ask for?

For the past two days people have told me that I have been limping.  I also have an increase in the bilateral weakness in my arms and legs.  I have all ready stopped three times just to write this post.  My arms and legs just feel so heavy.  Any suggestions?

I would talk to the neuro about a LP (lumbar puncture) There may be signs of inflammation there,  that would help with your diagnosis. Did you have a MRI of your spine as well? Sometimes lesions in disease go undetected due to improper evaluation. Evoked Potentials is also an avenue that you may want to discuss with your doc. These tests can rule out certain diagnoses, so that your Doc may have a better idea where to go from there, as far as testing and so forth.    Good Luck!!
