Confusion? I went to the doctor because the symptoms I was suffering indicated Mononucleosis. Nope dx`ed with Bronchitis.

Still continued to get sicker, mono spot test had been negative. Sent to the hospital for more extensive blood work, maybe lyme, west nile, anything? and a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia.

LOL dang? Mono! Then Chronic fatigue syndrome, then when my walking became to bad to ignore a neuro and mris.

First brain mri, abnormal, small strokes, not severe enough to cause walking problems.

C-spine mri, lesions clearly seen at c-2 and c-4, old injury, myelitis, myelopathy, a botched LP, then a new neuro.

I had told the first and then the new dude I thought PPMS, ignored, a negative lp. Refusal by both to order a t-spine mri second refused to order repeats of the brain and c-spine also. His comment? T/M no further testing is needed or necessary.

We disagreed on that and I went to a specialist, more testing, repeats of B-C and a T-spine MRI and a dx of PPMS. Evidence was there, they have to be willing to look!
