Default Third MRI results~

Hi,
I just had my fourth (or fifth ?) visit with the Nuero and got the results of the MRI on my spine.No lesions found.I should be relieved but am still in Limboland with my "probable MS " diagosis.
She has referred me to a MS specialist to see what he has to say and to run the evoked potential electrical tests. She did correct me on one thing,I thought I had three or 4 lesions and she counted 11 today. She also finally sent me home with all the information packets dealing with MS.
A recap:
First MRI-found the lesions but not where she could make a 100% diagnosis
Second MRI_ the lesions are clearer.
LP- Elevated IGG index but no bands.Elevated Protein levels
Third MRI of spine ~ clear.

I have vertigo, which comes and goes. Internal vibration sensation/internal tremors what ever you want to call it. Pins and needles as well as numbing in legs,arms,toes,hands,mouth and private parts. 2 episodes recently of very visible shaking both hands and legs. Cramping in my feet seperating my toes..The fatigue and the emotional stress is starting to wear on me. I seem to have trouble concentrating on work and forget what I'm saying mid sentence or what I'm doing mid task. I just dread the evenings..everything is so much worse at night. It's like there is an internal alarm clock that says okay 7 pm , time to tremor and vibrate ! ARGHHH

You're up to date. I just cried like a baby. DH is on the other side of the state living and working,I'm here at home trying to sell this house and get all the appointments in before we switch insurance companies and homes. Just so much to deal with as I'm sure you all know.
Thanks for the ear ~
