Avatar n tn So they really are used more to rule out other causes, rather than to rule in MS. I have full blown MS (if there is such a thing) and was positive in all the tests, but again the diagnosing criteria is the MRI and clinical presentation of symptoms.
Avatar f tn m guessing a possibility is that HPV brought out a symptom of MS (that went away, I have Relapsing-Remitting MS) and that I had MS for even longer than I thought but HPV didn't cause MS itself, it just helped it present itself. I know that today, 20 years later, when I'm sick (cough, sore throat, etc) my MS gets worse for the duration of the cold.

Avatar m tn One of them said it is all due to ur anxiety ( Cause i do not have any bladder problems and dizziness, numbness tingling all is due to anxiety) but one said its Multiple Sclerosis+ anxiety. My MRI and EEG were clear. Currently i have high frequency of muscle tingling through out my body only when i am lying on bed plus i see double vision of any statement especially ( white in colour) on TV and laptop. Is it MS? Should I start taking Med for MS or just let it be and hope it will go away?
Avatar f tn Hi, kak- I'm sorry to hear of your bf diagnosis. That in itself is scary enough for both of you and your family and friends. I don't know how much you know about MS so I encourage you to check out our Health Pages, as wobbly said. I assume that your bf is now on some meds for his MS, namely Disease Modifying Drugs (DMD)? If not, I urge him to get started on one of those asap. They do not cure MS but they have good results of slowing down the progression.
Avatar f tn I'm not sure if his MS would be associated with being in Vietnam but if he was sprayed by Agent Orange then I would be suspect of any medical illnesses. My dad was also sprayed with Agent Orange and has numerous medical problems and so do my brother and I; both conceived after Vietnam. I would go to www.publichealth.va.

Avatar f tn Hi, I'm new to this forum and just had a couple of questions regarding possible MS diagnosis. In July of 09 I had a MRI of my brain which showed a left frontal lesion measuring 1.4 x 1.2 x 1.4 cm. I had another in August 09 which measured the lesion at 1.0 x o.6 x 1.2 cm. I also had a third one in August 09 which showed another decrease in size. (sorry don't have those results in hand).
488198 tn?1493875092 A Genetic Cause For Multiple Sclerosis Is Identified And Funded By Science Patron, Jeffrey Epstein The CYP27B1 gene is discovered by Oxford University to be a leading cause for multiple sclerosis NEW YORK, June 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent study at Oxford University in England and published in Annals of Neurology, has identified a gene that causes vitamin D deficiency and may also be the cause of multiple sclerosis.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcom to the forum, I have never heard of anyone being on Medrol for that long, what are your reasons for being on it for such a long period of time? Seems to me that being on it for that long could be very problematic but I could be wrong, I am sure others will chime in. As for the DVT I don't believe that is related to MS that is more of a blood disorder if I am correct and MS is a CNS disease.
1435024 tn?1283573524 Many of the neurological diseases have similiar symthoms. They have an enviromental cause. When we get toxins in our body they effect the nervous system. Things like mercury, lead, arsenic, artifical sweetners, and pesticides can effect our nervous system. I had a problem with the amalgam(mercury) fillings in my mouth. I showed signs of MS but I didn't have the genic factor to give me MS.
1517572 tn?1290796418 If you presented with strange sensations throughout your body, I would say it would be unlikely that you have MS because with MS it usually affects one arm, one leg, or one side of your body, etc. because of where a lesion would be located in your brain or spinal cord. It is unusual to have a lesion in both sides of your spinal cord; however, you've been sick since you were 15 years old.
Avatar f tn A Neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic told me that difference between Fibromyalgia and MS is that MS causes brain damage and Fibromyalgia does not, but other than that the symptoms are the same. I have been diagnosed with both and then told they weren’t sure if I have MS. I do believe that Fibromyalgia flares are similar the MS Flares. I don’t particularly care if I have one or the other because they both suck.
Avatar f tn I am 17 have been seeing flashes of lights in corner of my eyes cause it seems like the light is almost dragging my phone,tv, lamp etc. I see floaters when I'm driving and just recently had a problem with my eyes seeing a consistent flash that didn't go away for 30 minutes. I also have trouble looking at my TV it's almost like I can't see the white letters on the guid straight when I sit on the couch but up closer I'm fine.
