5) Problems walking/balance- other than vertigo. YES
6) Severe Migraines (MAV-dx) with inner ear dysfunctions
7) Two clear MRI's in last 3 years
8) Current regular Neuro and Neurotologist sending to dizzy clinic.
Gave symptom list to secretary. Instead of setting up appt. in
3-4 month normal appt. time- she put me on the current asap
waiting list. This freaked me out.
9) Sense of smell is almost gone. No clue with this one.
10) Tremors/numbness in hands. YES
No clue what tests results came
back for sure as been told opposite things from two doctors.

Any advice? Feel like I'm clueless: really. No idea what is going on and no one will give me any answers. Very upset. Hubby is very angry with life like this- he has had it. I am not able to function like a normal person anymore. Basically- I'm disabled. He is having a hard time coming grips with it. I'm not sure that it will ever be back to normal again and if not, if he will accept it.
My answers are above in red to the questions I could relate to.

MS is hard to diagnose and at times it seems like they're never going to figure it out. You're not crazy and it's not all in your head. Some doctors will tell you this when they don't have an answer and don't want to appear dumb.

Are you seeing a Neuro that specializes in MS? Is there an MS Center near you?
