I was just dx on Jan 20th with definite RRMS.

I do question my dx and will be getting a second opinion in March. My doctor is good and I like him...he is a general neurologist so i will be seeing a MS specialist at a comprehensive MS clinic in March.

I have a great deal of the symptoms associated with MS.

my history:

~psoriasis/eczema ~neck/shld/back pain/stiffness ~creaking fluid noise with neck mvmt ~electric shocks with neck mvmt ~migraines ~pressure headaches ~seep clear liquid from ears ~ring/buzzing/fullness/echo in ears ~arm tingling, numbness and weakness ~over or undershooting arm mvmts ~dropping things ~cold feet and hands ~hoarse rough voice ~no voice when yelling ~hip pain ~crampy/achy/tingling legs ~decreased balance/dizziness ~catch toe on floor ~mix-up words ~poor memory ~blank stare (zone-out) ~frequency/leaking urine ~constipation ~sleep difficulty ~enlarged lymph nodes ~losing hair ~fatigue/depression ~heart palpations/fluttering ~visual (floater, blurry, nystagmus, twitches, soreness, double vision, color, etc)
On and off for last 10-15 years


.....but also have other medical issues that could account for some of them.

......I do have two herniated dics, scoliosis, cervical radiculpathy, have 5 children, have a history of severe migraines, which can cause similar white matter lesions

recent tests: as of jan2010

abnormal SSEP
Optic Neuritis
MRI with a few sucortical white matter lesions
normal spinal tap
low B12 (not extremely low 308) which can mimic MS symptoms, including extreme fatigue.

Do you see what I mean.....I am in the medical field and I know that makes me a very bad patient and I question everything....because after all it is
Practicing Medicine

Maybe it is just denial....I haven't told me mom or siblings....want to wait for the second opinion, so maybe I won't have to tell them at all.

Thanks for listening,
Sharon
