Hello! New, Confused and FRUSTRATED!!!
Hello Everyone! I am new to this forum. Try to make this short (if possible). I was dx with fibromyalgia 8 years ago. Since then I have been dx with arthritis in my right hip, degenerative disk disease, a pituitary tumor, carpal tunnel...blah, blah, blah. I have NO DOUBT after all the reading I've done, that I have MS. I had the MRI's done when they discovered the tumor, w and w/o contrast. When I asked about MS the neurologist completely dismissed it because she said there was no indication of lesions. I now read that 5% of cases present WITHOUT lesions showing on MRI's. HOW DO YOU GET ANYONE TO LISTEN? I am so completely frustrated. Working has become so difficult. I am currently off for 1 week because of the vertigo I've been experiencing. My balance has gone completely downhill in the last 2 months. Feel like my head is constantly swimming. My thought process is COMPLETELY off. When I'm in a meeting at work I can't even find the words I want to use to express my opinion....when I can even figure out what my opinion is! I am in Central PA. If anyone knows of a neurologist specializing in MS PLEASE inform me. I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.
