But, diabetes does affect your sugars, and I am taking that you mean MS as in Multiple Sclerosis. MS does attack the CNS, not the pancreas. Multiple sclerosis should not make it harder to control your sugar levels, your MS medicines may. Immunosuppressants can cause sugar levels to spiral sometimes, yet this medicine can help with both diseases. You may have a third-hand problem going on. You may need to switch meds.

Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having symptoms?

(lastname) is under my care, and experiences symptoms are felt to be directly related to her Multiple Sclerosis, however her Multiple Sclerosis in the past was treated solely with IV Solumedrol. Ms. (lastname) is not on disease modifying drugs, nor is she under the care of a Neurologist. (PLEASE STATE A STRONG SOURCE HERE REF. MS TREATMENT HERE - NEED A RECENT STAT. REGARDING THE MEDS. AND HOW MS IN NEVER IN-ACTIVE - JUST 2 SENTENCES.

There are a number of white matter hyperintensities. These are in typical distribution for the demyelination of multiple sclerosis. (CD available) DIAGNOSIS: Multiple Sclerosis November 2007: Developed severe pain in heels of feet equated to lightning bolts going through my feet...this pain has since travelled up the backs of my ankles and on occasion, into my large toes. Nothing has alleviated this pain to date. December 2007: Swallowing issues which alleviated after the holidays.

Hello I am a 25 year old female and four weeks ago I was diagnosed with optic neuritis, I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days of IV solumedrol therapy (1000 mg a day). After the treatment my vision mostly came back and the eye pain was completely gone. At the same time I also had a burning arm pain in my right arm with numbness and tingling into my fingers. During my hospital stay I had an MRI of my head, which was normal.

It was noted on MRI that I had numerous lesions on my brain that were highly characteristic of multiple sclerosis with lesions located in the periventricular white matter. The results of my Lumbar Puncture which showed that both the albumin and absolute levels of IgG were markedly increased. In addition I had an increased IgG index and daily rate of IgG synthesis at 45mg/day which are highly charateristic of multiple sclerosis and seemed to support the MRI observations.

I have multiple sclerosis and am not on a medicine right now. I just had and am going through a flare for the second time in 2 weeks. Both times I've been given a steroid injection and prednisone and have gotten a headache from both. At the time I do have high bp and have side pain from a UTI.

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.

ll ask for more to be done, and if this doc dosn;t make you feel comfortable enough to ask for more, you need to gind one who you can trust.i hope things, by that i mean answers come soon for you. dizzy is the pits, they have meds to help with a few of youe symptoms to, that should be offered so you need not suffer.

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.

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'

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?

The second is the issue where the sphincter works fine, but the bladder fails to contract. For some guy it will take some time for the bladder to empty just by gravity. Men can have a combination of the two MS can also cause ED, including failure to achieve an adequate erection, failure to maintain an erection, and decreased sensation that leads to failure to orgasm.
