My 3rd neuro opinion says I don't have MS b/c nothing is showing in my MRI's, or bloods, or anything, and it's not a typical MS 'pattern'.
I damn hope he's right! BUT, he doesn't know what it is, and blamed 'stress'. He wrote a letter to my GP who I saw today, She told me to cheer up, and look forward to life now that MS is ruled out, make plans and think of things to look forward to. Great advice, but I felt really patronised! I've had sx for 12 months now. It's not as bad as it was last year (last August seemed to be the 'peak' at which point I couldn't walk faster than a non-agile 102 year old woman with a walker for a few days). I still have phases lasting 7-10 days of left arm and leg heavyness, nerve pain, left side face pain, twitching are the main ones. Heat intolerance. It comes on every couple of months. Now that's not a 'true' MS pattern is it? My eyes aren't affected, although at times with my arm/leg sx episode experienced eye pain just above my right eye. Only once did it hurt to move my eyes. It's worse when I'm tired and stressed. Could it be stress? I'm doing well these days - new 2 days a week job, new (great!) car and a LOVELY man in my life. ![]() I've resorted to a saliva 'stress' test by my naturopath to test hormone levels including cortisol (stress). Is anyone else having similar sx and been told it's stress?? I'm getting better at 'living' with it but still get frustrated at times.
