Symptoms
I presented with a numbish, tingling sensation that crept up the whole right side of my body. Very distressing to say the least. My doc would have bet me $100 that I had MS based on my symptoms and history....then I had an MRI and nothing! All that really means is they can not give a definate diagnosis without those lesions! Anyway, doc said "Oh well, lets just see what happens since you are feeling better" She had me return in six months for a follow up and I told her I was feeling much better but had a new little funny sensation over my top lip.....burning, tingling and numbish. Well, she opted for another MRI scan and (in that six month time span AND actually feeling BETTER) I had lots of lesions on the new MRI. Now they show up after 12 years of wierd medical issues that know one could explain.....I guess I finally nailed the right time and the right place with the right doc in the right amount of disease activity. Whatever it is...it is SOMETHING so don't allow yourself to feel crazy....just stay proactive and write down everything you experience on a daily basis so your doctor can actively see the patterns.
Let him see a normal week for you.
V.A. doesn't have a specialist for you? I was a military wife for 20 years and I can say I didn't always care for the medical care....hope you can get some help soon. Big Hugs
