Avatar n tn Dear Buddy, Thanks for the post. Multiple Sclerosis is a diagnosis which can be reached via 1) MRI scan. 2) CAT scan. 2) Clinical Signs and Symptoms. 3) Blood tests. Any one factor can't confirm the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.It's a combination of all these results that helps us to confirm the diagnosis. Consulting the neurologist would be a great help as he would be the one, to identify the triggering factors.
Avatar f tn You mentioned there are things I can do to improve my condition. Could you give me the details? I have been out of the hospital since 4/27/12 & continue to have off and on periods of the same symptoms that I went in with including loss of appetite & weight loss of 7lbs. I was 422 lbs on 4/28/12 & this morning I am 415lbs. This is not a bad thing for me since I am obese. I am concerned about nutrition.
Avatar n tn has anyone had a diagnosis of ms with brain lesions but negitive ep studies and nagitive spinal tap?
Avatar n tn He had an MRI of the brain that showed multiple foci of T2 and FLAIR hyperintensity in the white matter of both cerebral hemispheres including approximately 5 small lesions in the periventricular white matter, lovated at the callosal sptal margin and oriented perpendicular long axis of the lateral ventricles. THere are 2 Flair hyperintense lesions along the undersurface of the copus callosum. Focus of T2 hyperintensity is seen in the deep white matter of the right frontal lobe.
Avatar m tn What about your neurological exam, that is reflexes and such. Is it abnormal? That is the most important part of a diagnosis of MS. Are your symptoms on one side of the body, asymetrically or on both sides of the body evenly? How long have you been going to the neurologist? Are you scheduled for a follow up? Was your MRI looking specifically MS or was it a general one? Was it with contrast? If a MRI does not show MS they will not diagnose MS and put you on the drugs to slow MS.

Avatar f tn 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). My neurologist impression is ( Solitary focus of demyelination left frontal brain unclear etiology).

1059772 tn?1286655190 I am in the process of being evaluated for multiple sclerosis due to many white spots on my MRI and eye troubles. I have a few things I have noticed for many years but didn't think much about until now: I frequently shudder with a feeling of a chill for a few seconds at a time. Occasionally, I space out for a moment and then come back sometimes in the middle of conversation. I sometimes experience a very sharp stabbing pain in my abdomen that lasts for about 30 seconds.

Avatar f tn It is widely accepted that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings are not totally specific for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. White matter lesions that mimic those of multiple sclerosis may be detected in both normal volunteers and patients harbouring different diseases. " Virtually all the characteristic features of multiple sclerosis are sometimes encountered in other conditions affecting predominantly the white matter.
Avatar n tn It is possible that I had/have undiagnosed multiple sclerosis, and then when I started treatment the interferon kept the MS from progressing?
Avatar n tn 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 n tn Hi, A complete examination and investigations are essential to reach a probable diagnosis and nothing much can be said about your disease before these are carried out. It may be Lyme disease, Multiple sclerosis or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Please go for a full body scan, MRI of spine, arms and hand and consult a neurologist for complete examination. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
1413587 tn?1289659823 Lesions have orientation and configuration compatible with the clinical diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. I have an appointment with the neurologist next week, but would like to have an idea of how indicative this impression might be to lead to a diagnosis of MS. Any replies would be appreciated.
