Avatar m tn It is frustrating to be left in a grey area, with no clear diagnosis but the important positive point is that people in this situation have a much better long term prognosis than those who have positive tests indicative of MS. This goes along with the fact that you have had intermittent symptoms for six years now without developing any objective clinical signs of a serious neurological condition.
Avatar f tn I have multiple sclerosis, i was diagnosised in sept. 2006. So far i haven't had any problems with my liver.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome, Subjective means you feel weak, but there is no loss of strength, objective means there is a loss of strength that can be noted during a physical exam.... IF i understand you correctly, you are saying even though you feel weakness in your left leg and right arm, your neurological clinical signs were 'not' abnormal hence why the weakness is 'subjective'......
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 so this leads me to believe that the term they will use will have something to do with muscle spasms de parte de multiple sclerosis...there may be a special term, I will ask my native spanish speaking friends but as I never heard the term or knew what it referred to before I read it here in this site, I do not know if they will know what term is used. It is likely that the term used is different in the different Spanish speaking countries.
