Went to see my Nerurologist today.Said MS wasn't a factor  so, thats good!!! Mention gamma bands found in the LP looking at Guillian Barre syndrom.Sending me for more test,because everything is happening on my left side. Checking for mini strokes but the brain MRI said no strokes, going to have a MRI on back of neck and middle back. Also a test checking for clogged  arteries in neck. The Dr. is sending me to Vanderbilt Medical Cinic for movement disorders.
