Avatar f tn I have had increased symptoms of fatigue and in recent weeks a tingling along both of my legs, my feet hurt and I am having alot of back pain that sort of circles around. Should I start with my PCP to see if it is my back or go straight to my neurologist? I am on Copaxone, but I was off of the shots for 6 mos prior to this last MRI for insurance reasons.
Avatar f tn As for your face, I would first talk to my doctor about the length of time you have been on the steroids and see if there is a different course of treatment available and your face will start clearing up on its own.
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 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?
665881 tn?1248926997 ” Wynick then turned to Professor Neil Scolding who studies the use of stem cells in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Scolding provided human brain tissue affected by multiple sclerosis and, as the team predicted, galanin was also shown to be upregulated in this brain tissue. Professor Scolding said: “The results of this research are very significant and provide new insights into how the disease might be treated”.
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 As for your future with MS, if that is what you really will hear from the neurologist, you can borrow all sorts of trouble and probably most of it will not come true. The future of MS patients is very different than what it was 20 years ago. With treatment, the number of people remaining ambulatory (walking) through their lifetime is now up to about 80-85%.
Avatar n tn Hi and welcome. You're posted this in te Multiple Sclerosis forum - we have lots of very smart people here and someone may know the answer to your question, but I don't Perhaps with his next doctor visit someone whould go with him to help remember the details - that's what we advise everyone here.
Avatar m tn If the patient clinically exhibits symptoms of another white matter disease process such as multiple sclerosis, the patient could return for contrast enhanced images to evaluate for acute or active disease" Basically what I'm looking for is the bottom line, what's wrong? What kind of treatments are involved? Or simply what does all of that mean? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you so much.
1517572 tn?1290796418 You would benefit from seeing a neurologist. You need a complete work-up to determine the cause of your neurological symptoms. The neurologist should do lots of blood tests to help them figure out what it is and run other tests to determine the cause of your neurological symptoms. Because you have had so many viruses, my guess is that you have an autoimmune disease.
Avatar m tn The cause of meralgia paresthetica is compression of the nerve that supplies sensation to the skin surface of your thigh." https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meralgia-paresthetica/symptoms-causes/syc-20355635 If it's possible i'd get it seen by your family dr, the odds of this type of situation being the first presentation of a neurological condition like MS is very unlikely. Hope that helps.....
Avatar f tn 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. He may also be on some other drugs for his symptoms. Is he? I ask because some drugs have side affects that affect you sexually. This could be one of his problems or it could be something else. I am no doctor and as wobbly did, I urge you to have your bf address this with his doctor.
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).
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 m tn Ya I just got back my MRI the third one in 1 year and the results are the same, the MRI shows an area 9mm in length on the left side of my brain, it represents an area of demylenation, I have now been too 3 neurologists and none of them know what it is, I was hoping I could list some of my symptoms and someone here could help me out, here goes Right side of my body only numbness face, Vertigo, insomnia, anxiousness, stress, trembling, spasms in my face, ear and leg, my stomach also will jerk fro
