Default Hi, new here

I already posted a HI on the new members board but wanted to say HI here too. I've been lurking around for a few months.

I'm not yet diagnosed. Been trying to find anwers since Nov. 08 but so far lots of slight abnormalities but my brain doesn't light up like a Christmas tree so the powers that be (MDs) still don't know what is going on.

My PCP thinks MS, my onclologist (I have MGUS) thinks this is MS but the neuro isn't sure...maybe yes, maybe no...more tests to come.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and to thank the whole community just for being here.

Hi Gaia!

Welcome to the board. Test, test and more tests. You'll get an answer!

Take care


Niko

The hardest part for me was KNOWING something was wrong, and going through the process of eliminating possible causes until it finally narrowed down to MS. You've picked a good place to come for support. No matter what you're feeling, there's somebody here who's been there.

Hello! and welcome um what is MGUS?

Have you been to the big MS center in Lebanon NH or the big one near Boston? They are amazing folks.

Hang in there.

Welcome to NT! I've been absent as of late, but this change to fall is a huge reminder daily with symptoms that I have this crud called MS.

Default Hi again

Still no answers. The MRI (as I posted separately before) was clear of lesions.

PCP still says he thinks I will eventually be dx'd with MS. May just take a while.

So...I guess I'll be lurking about here for a while if you all don't mind.
