Thanks for the responses. I went to see the Dr today. He said the lesions in the brain look to be more from my migraines. The spine was bothering him though so he ordered another MRI of my neck & thoracic spine with contrast. He mentioned MS several times. I let him know I was B12 deficient & that my numbers were 163 & now up to 505 but still working on getting them higher. I also told him that I was aware that if one is B12 deficient long enough, it can mimic symptoms of MS. He sort of blew this off as if it wasn't something to be considered which was a red flag. It's well documented and I am not ready to say it's the cause but I don't want him to be ready to say it's not the cause before even seeing more test results. I am not unwilling to accept a possible MS diagnosis as long as it's thorough. He also mentioned a spinal tap but wants to wait to see what the MRI shows, he also said that the spinal tap could show an indication of MS but even if it shows nothing that doesn't really mean anything.
My neurologist had heart surgery & so his colleague is taking over my case until he gets back, I am hoping he returns soon. I have to see a neuro-opthalmoloist because my eyes get blurry when my back hurts really bad. So, more tests and my back pain and the vibrations, etc continue.
