Common Questions and Answers about Multiple sclerosis questions for doctor

I agree with Alex. Try and find one who specializes in MS, that's what I had to do.

I just feel so hopeless right now cause no one has answers for how I feel. I was told also that fibromyalgia is not a reason and it is just a term for a group of problems rolled into one. I have been searching the internet for help and came across this site. My symptoms all got worse in May right after I had the flu real bad. Is this any correlation to any of this? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for you help.

Hi Shawn, Welcome! You do have things we experience here all the time, and it will be very important for your Neuro to start a thorough work up to start to seeing what you do or do not have. You already have been to 3 Neuros, so what are they saying? Do you know what they worked you up for so far? I'm sorry you are going through this with seemingly no guidance or info. Have you had Brain only MRIs? Any imaging for you C-spine ordered? Where is the lesion located?

Hi, there, and Welcome! I can't believe this got by without anybody answering. My apologies! Seizures! Wow! Scary!! They're not completely unheard of in MS, though, as we're twice as likely to get them as the general population. But that's 5-6% as compared to 3% of the general population. I snagged this from the MS Foundation site: One of the less common problems associated with MS is seizures.

no sorry i do not know a doctor to help for free but i do know that the MS Society will pay to have you get Diagnosed and pay for the scans no matter if he has it or not, but only those sets of scans'

I am no doctor and as wobbly did, I urge you to have your bf address this with his doctor. Even though he has MS he is still susceptible of having other health issues that don't pertain to his MS so it is always a good rule of thumb to address any symptoms with his doc. Urine retention can be a symptom of MS, but it could be caused by many other things, too. This also needs to be addressed with his doctor.

Hi Monkie, Welcome to our community here and I guess I should also probably welcome you to the world of MS. From the urgency of the neurologist's office to get you in, I would guess that they found enough evidence to begin treatment. Did you notice how many times I used "guess" in the above? That's all it is, but your phone call sounds like my phone call when I was dxd. It was a "the doctor wants to see you Thursday - what time is good for you?

Does anyone on here have M.S.??? I have had diagnoses for 8yrs but have questions regarding MS and pregnancy.

m sorry you are having new worsening problems. Have you alerted your doctor? This may be a relapse for you and a course of steroids may help. Or, was the Tysabri suggested because the doc feels you may need a switch in meds? We do have Tysabri users on our forum, and I'll find a discussion about it and post the link here. It would be great if the Tysabri would indeed help you get some strength back. Welcome to our forum, and hope you stick around.

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?

So I haven't gotten any better although my vitamin D levels have improved. My walking gait is horrible and I am having tingling, muscle spasms really bad at nights especially. My doctor says he thinks the viruses have attacked my nervous system and has prescribed physical therapy. He's done a brain mri and it shows normal, but I've been suffering for a long time with multiple problems. Does anyone think this EBV stuff could be ms???

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.
