Confused New and have no idea where to begin

Hello everyone!

My name is Brenda. I have chronic migraines and numbness and weakness on one side, vision issues, balance problems, cognitive memory and focus problems as well. I also have some pain, cramping, twitching, shaking...such crazy sypmtoms. I have been told by ER doctors that I had not had a stroke after CT's and that it was complicated migraines. My neurologist has been doing testing for MS since I had 2 white spots on my brain MRI in 2007 and now I have "lots" of white spots on my brain MRI.

The cervical and thoracic MRI's, the Visual Evoke Potentials, the Ultrasound of my carotids and the Doppler of the blood vessels in the head and the EEG were all normal. Now, I am just waiting on my follow up following my lumbar puncture. From what I can gather from the LP, it is looking like it is not MS. So, I guess it is going to be luck of the draw.

Thank you to everyone for allowing me to vent.
