Common Questions and Answers about Ms symptoms undiagnosed

multiple-sclerosis

Avatar f tn In fact, I have all the symptoms of MS without the MRI and spinal lesions. I have been seeing a neurologist at a MS clinic, who had tried big doses of steroids which have been unsuccessful. He refuses to try any of the MS medications. My condition is deteriorating. Any suggestions as to what could be going on with me?
604266 tn?1236358985 I posted on the MS forum a few weeks ago because alot of my symptoms pointed to MS. I have had a recent hospitalization because I lost conciousness one night and wouldn't fully wake up so my husband called emergency services to take me in by ambulance. They released me with a pending appointment to a neurologist and rhumatologist. I had a clean MRI, a margenal neuro exam, though I'm not sure what that means exactly I guess that's something the neuro will go over at my appointment.
Avatar m tn The symptoms were, from what I was reading online at the time similar to MS. Over the past few years my symptoms have progressed. My first MRI scan that I had came back completely clear, and I was told to go back if they progressed, which they did. Since that scan I have had 2 more MRI's. The second MRI came up white white spots which was in January 2015, I was then sent for a lumbar puncture, but whatever they were looking for, it came back negative.
Avatar f tn MS is a neurological condition that effects the central nervous system, which means you could throw a dart at just about any symptom there is and it will be associated with MS in some way, but its not generally on the top of the list of causes because there are literally hundreds of more common causes for the same symptoms.
98474 tn?1240105274 She notes my many neurological symptoms, and keeps MS as a differential diagnosis, but only by my persistance and insistance have I gotten anything done. I saw her during a flare of my symptoms, and things were very different; she SAW me as a neurological patient. Then I got a copy of her chart notes, and they were generic, like the last visit's; she apparently forgot the visit before she did her notes. I won't even mention my first two neuros, except they taught me a lot.
Avatar m tn Hello everyone- I believe I may have MS but as of yet undiagnosed. The closest I have come is one neuro's notes say "unable to rule out MS". Anyway, I have been doing much better the last few weeks so whatever I have is in some sort of remission. Although I feel the frustration of all those out there who are as yet undiagnosed as well as those that are living with MS, it is comforting to read that I am not alone by any means.
Avatar m tn t see anything that represents MS from what you have indicated. I went thru nursing school with MS (but without knowing I had it) and know what you are facing. I did this in my 50's. MS would not normally present bilaterally as you have indicated (s) to your limbs when talking about them.
Avatar f tn sounds like ms to me too,Try to find a ms clinic in your area, i have suffered with ms for years and find the best results when you call a neurologist that has an ms clinic. god bless and good luck.
Avatar f tn I have had some great days but they are few and far between. Do these symptoms and their timeframe suggest MS? I know it is one of the hardest diseases to diagnose but I thought I would keep asking questions on my journey to answers. I'm never going to give up on trying to figure this out b/c my kiddos deserve a happy healthy Mom! Oh and forgot... I sometimes have the feeling of peppermint oil in my eyes when I lay down at nite. If I'm on my right side, I feel it in my right eye.
Avatar n tn it is still going on even though it is gradually improving), in addition to odd random things MS-type symptoms happening every once in a while for the past 18 years. I just recently I realized I might have Multiple Sclerosis. The first attack happened 18 years ago, when I was 14, when I lost part of my vision in one eye and had flashes of light, eye pain, and ringing ears.
Avatar f tn I have undiagnosed neuropathy and shooting pains that jab and then disappear. Muscle cramps, charlie horses. Involuntary muscle movement alien under the skin. Bowel problems, headaches, blurred vision, nausea and fatigue walking is painful, like walking on marbles. I 've had symptoms off and on for twenty years, but they seem to be getting worse.
Avatar f tn It would be very helpful for us limbolanders to know if the person posting symptoms has an official MS diagnosis. Even though limbolanders posting symptoms might actually have undiagnosed MS, it would be helpful to know if the symptoms being discussed were from someone officially diagnosed with MS since some of us limbolanders here will end up ultimately being diagnosed with other conditions such as ALS, Lyme, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre etc.
Avatar f tn My husband has been undiagnosed for 10 years. He has severe right sided eye and neck pain (believed neurological), lack of sensation in both arms and legs "boot and glove" low B12 (recently discovered), muscular/skeletal pain as well. He was seen by a really bad neurologist who didn't do anything useful to investigate his troubles and we are trying to get another to have a look at him. What is a neurogenic bladder?
Avatar f tn I'm in a dark place...I've had ongoing parasthesias for the past 4 months and a normal mri (closed, 1.5T) of brain, c-spine, tspine, and lumbar spine. I have a lumbar puncture scheduled for this Friday. I have been getting numbness that comes and goes all the time on the left side of my face for the past week and more trouble w/ balance. This morning I woke up and had trouble walking straight...just felt very off balance. I went back to bed and I've felt much better since.
Avatar f tn Weakness in eyes, neck and shoulder pain, weak arms, dizziness, extreme fatigue, tremor in left hand. Another odd symptom is that my husband is having random memories suddenly show up without any provocation. These are just little inconsequential events that have taken place over the years of his life. It is like his brain and nervous system has a short-circuit that randomly pulls up memory tidbits.
Avatar m tn The neurologist is having you repeat in six months because that is how they DX MS.
Avatar m tn You have multiple neurological symptoms which need to be investigated for multiple sclerosis. MS is a chronic demyelinating disorder where the disease phase is characterized by active phase and remissions. It has multiple symptoms and signs and is a diagnosis of exclusion. The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are loss of balance, muscle spasms, numbness in any area, problems with walking and coordination, tremors in one or more arms and legs.
Avatar f tn I have a form of autoimnue. First thought 25 years ago to be Lupus and negative then MS I have MS like symptoms low grade fever and I also feel very cold even in the heat. it is like hot flashes sweats then cold. Very very cold feet and lower legs. Some days feel like rheumitoid but right arm weak and left leg. Have had many illnesses all my life. Someone who has same symptoms and could not get diagnosed finally was with Morgans disease.

789820 tn?1315448513 Hi, photo- I am sorry that you are having all of these things going on with you. After reading your post, I ended up with questions. So, I thought I would ask them and maybe it will help me and others here in the forum understand a little bit more. You say "nerve damage" flare up. Are you referring to the TN that you described or other symptoms you are having? If it is not the TN, what symptoms to you refer to as nerve damage? How often do you get these flare ups?
