tongue lesions mayo clinic

Some here on the board are not real pleased with the Mayo clinic. It seems they have their own set of standards to give out a dx of MS. I personally know nothing about them and wish you the best....hoping for that answer.

Has anyone from the MS forum ever seek treatment for their MS at the Mayo Clinic? If so, how was your as your experience with physicians from the clinic? I am considering driving up to Mayo at some point if my neurologist in town can't definatively diagnosis me.

Truthfully, I've heard one of the best MS Clinics in the US is the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. You might try checking out http://www.mscare.org They list all the clinics available, etc. My neuro said the clinic at Cincinatti isn't that great but thinks Cleveland Clinic is really good. I've never heard of the Mayo Clinic being highly rated for MS, but more for heart desease.

Hi, the Mayo Clinic has a good section about geographic tongue, including some of the treatments for it. Here is what it says about risk factors that might cause it: ____________ Studies of factors that may be associated with an increased risk of geographic tongue have produced mixed results. Factors that are likely associated with an increased risk — relatively well supported by research — include the following: Family history.

I have just made an appointment for a full work up at the Mayo Clinic, does anyone know the tests involved and how much they charge? Thank you!

I am over the moon excited that DH got a 5-10 day appointment at Mayo Clinic - Dec. 10. Anyone have any experiences on what to expect etc?

Has anybody here been to the neurology clinic at the Mayo or in their inpatient pain treatment program?

SAID IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE MS AND TO COME BACK IN 6 MONTHS FOR ANOTHER MRI. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM GOING TO THE MAYO CLINIC. I HAVE NO SYMPTOMS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE EPISODE OF PASSING OUT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

He wantd to repeat the MRI in a month (Which will be my 3rd in 8 months) and if it shows new lesions send me to the Mayo Clinic for a consult. His theory is that this is early onset. I have to keep a symptom journal and let him know of any major symptoms that I develop. He said that the location, size and shape of my lesions is a classical presentation of MS, but he is confused that with the amount of lesions that I have, that I don't have more symptoms.

m curious as to why so many people are against the Mayo Clinic? I myself am a patient there currently undergoing diagnostics, though I received a clinical MS diagnosis upon first appointment in November, at this time my other cranial issues and viral issues are also being examined. My Neuro there was able to detect issues in one visit that other facilities could not in several other states- including Stanford Over the course off seven years.

There is the maze procedure. Mayo Clinic provides the following information and is one of a few medical centers in the United States that performs the maze procedure, a highly complex surgical treatment option for atrial fibrillation. Mayo Clinic heart surgeons are highly skilled and have years of experience with this technique.

Well, first of all, it sounds like your testing was done by the Mayo Clinic. Mayo is about the only medical lab that requires 4 or more bands whiile the rest of the reasonable world working in the field of MS agree to 2 or more bands as an acceptable number for supporting a diagnosis of MS. Of course there are many reasons that we may show O-bands in our CSF, but the fact that you have the original 2 and now one additional band points strongly to MS.

I've not been to the Jacksonville Mayo or the MS clinic in Houston, I'm sorry about that. I have heard a lot of good things about the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and Dr. Elliot Frohman who works there. I'm sure if you google his name you can find out much more than I can tell you about, here.

He suggested that I go to the Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic and get a third opinion. He said if I did have MS, he would be glad to treat me. I told him I thought I needed something for depression and he suggested Cymbalta. I told him that I reacted badly to that and he didn't offer any other alternatives. He told me to continue my medications until I saw someone else(early on he suggested I needed none of them) since they seemed to be working for me...Did I miss something here????

My doc still thinks it is ms and that is why he is sending me to an MS specialist here on the 1st of Feb and then Mayo clinic on Feb 23. That is the short version, but I do know the flareups are getting worse and I am not bouncing back like I used too. The ringing in my ears has not quit since this last episode and the weakness in my legs is still there. So what do you think?

I have been referred to see another team of neurologists at the Cleveland clinic in Weston since my doctor thinks the Mayo clinic did not do the proper workup that the $15K should have paid for! I would appreciate anyone's take on this clinic - am nervous about starting another series of tests that may bring me to "post viral syndrome dx" again with more time and money down the drain. Hugs to all!

I decided that I should travel to the United States and hopefully get a diagnosis. I know that Mayo clinic and Cleveland clinic have a good dysautonomia clinics but I don't know which one should I choose so I would appreciate any suggestions !!! Also I know healthcare in the US is so expensive and since I don't have insurance I wonder how much such a visit to one of those hospitals will roughly cost ?I know it's hard to tell but I'm asking for a roughly cost. Thanks.

I leave for the Mayo Clinic (ten hour drive) on Tuedsay to see a MS specialist as referred by my neuro. I have a quick question. While my MRI of my head showed many lesions/demyelination areas my spinal head only showed many hemangiomas and cysts. There were no areas of demyelination. The machine used was a 1.5T. Is there really a big difference in demylenation/lesions showing up with stronger machines? Should I request a second spinal MRI or is this really not necessary?

but still not sure. Has anyone else experienced this? We may seek yet another opinion at the Mayo clinic or MS center. She is currently on copaxone for MS and cell cept for Lupus. Any help woudl be greatly appreciated!! Thank you..

Had leg pain with a feeling of weakness and multiple lesions on MRI. Started betaseron and went to the Mayo clinic for a second opinion from the neurologist that was the director of the neurology dept.who's specialty was MS and had written numerous books on MS. He said I did not have MS and should not take any diease modifying medications. I was 42 and he said that the "spots" were normal aging.

I have been at the Mayo Clinic for the last week. It has been a very pleasant experience, given my circumstances. They have been very efficient and very informative. They have treated me like a person and not just a number. I am very impressed. I am looking for some personal advice on medications. I was dx with CIS due to the fact that I am not really experiencing any symptoms other than the optic neuritis, which has resolved for the most part.

My doctor has seen me in a flare up and knows something is wrong. He has finally agreed to send me to the Mayo Clinic in order to get some results. Has anyone else been thru a mess like this? Has anyone been to the Mayo Clinic for a diagnosis? I know they are good, but was wondering what to expect. Isn't lesions in the periatrial region fairly specific to MS? That is what my doctor told me but the neurologists didnt even take it seriously.

Hello! I've been lurking on this board for a really long time, like 2 years! I've posted a few times but figured it was time I really introduced myself. I'm having a hard time, needed some advice, and figured where better to turn than here! So, I'm 25 and my problems started about 2 and a half years ago. I started having vertigo really bad. I woke up one morning and felt like I was falling backwards in my bed.

Hi janereed, I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN in Oct 09. When I first walked in it was a dr that was training to be a consulting dr and he told me that they believed I had a stroke and that I was gonna stay like I was without improving. Well I blew up at him because he hadn't even examined me or anything. And all my other dr's from home had ruled out a stroke and said MS. Well the consulting dr. (Dr. Keegan) came in and did an examination and was very nice.
