In a way I was hoping for a diagnosis of MS because at least then I would have an answer, and also a "socially acceptable" one. When your symptoms are "back pain" or "nerve damage" people generally don't understand or think it's something that only older people get.
What medications are you on? Have you tried B12? (sorry if it's an obvious question) What type of pain/symptoms do you get?

Totally agree. Wish I had a name to the problem. Howeer , up until recently I didn't even have proof of nerve damage.
Yes , been tested for b12 and have been supplementing anyway for a long time. ( methyl cobalamin ) also take alpha lipoic acid .
Symptoms are burning all over ,weakness in arms and legs,numb hands in the morning ,mod/severe carpel tunnel in BOTH hands, general muscle pain .. It's likely that I have fibromyalgia as well.
Did a ct scan a long time ago on my brain to check for ms.. But now my neuro wants an MRI (April 27th)
I'm on lyrica and oxycodone. Oh and clonazepam occasionally.
You? I'm in Canada .. Where are you? I hope you don't have to deal with it forever.
