Hi Nancy. I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone! I went to a urologist about 2 months ago and he asked if any docs have ever suggested that I may have MS - again, "MS bladder".

I asked my neuro about it last time I saw him and he doesn't think that's it since I had a normal brain MRI last year. He said he wanted to wait a few months before sending me for another scan.

I've had PN since May, about 3 weeks after my ACDF surgery. We've been trying to find a "cause" for it ever since. (I posted all my issues on the PN board last week)

Anyway, my neuro seems to be at a loss, so he sent me to an infectious disease specialist the other day. She's running more blood tests, but doesn't think she's going to find anything. She also agreed with the MS possibility. I told her that the neuro wanted to wait a few more months before ordering an MRI. I've already paid my max out-of-pocket for the year on my insurance, so she went ahead and scheduled me for an MRI tomorrow - we both agreed that there's no reason to wait and then have to pay all that money after the beginning of the year.

Hope all goes well with your scans tomorrow! Hopefully we'll both get some sort of answers from our scans! At this point, I don't even care what the cause is - I just want to know that there is a cause.
