Hello TammyGCC and to NeuroTalk.

Welcome Tammy, nice to meet you. Please join us.

My name is Pete and I was diagnosed about a month and half ago, but now looking back I've most likely had RRMS for the last decade (was blaming my symptoms on chronic Lyme). I turn 40 in December.

I recently started tecfidera and have changed my diet and I feel great. I look forward to seeking advice and support on this form.

Welcome Pete, nice to meet you.. Please stay, it will be interesting
to see how you do on TEC. We have a thread or two on it.

The people here are really great and I'm happy that you have joined us; although I do wish that the reason, wasn't what it is.

Hello, my name is Synnove.
I am usually on the neuropathy forum, but I have looked at this forum too as well as the auroimmune disease forum. I do not know if I am at the right colum for introduction.
My problem started 2 years ago with migrane aura visual disturbance, MRI showed Cerebral Aneurysm and demyelinating leisond that looked like MS. I first had the aneurysm sucsessfully coiled and stented, but it fallowed by TIA and small stroke. I have recovered from it all without any residual symptoms.
But I have developed stronger and stronger symptoms like weakness, numbness pins and needles, parasthesia in all 4 extremities, pain burning pain everywhere. Have been diagnosed with vasculitis, and polyneuropathy,sensory motor and small fiber neuropathy as wellk as autonomic neuropathy. I have developed neurogenig bladder, and gastrophoresis.
I have had a constant vibrating feeling inside, feels like something is terribly wrong. The neurologist says it is the small fiber neuropathy that make it feel like vibration inside.
I have developed some strange episodes during the night that the neurologist says sound like simple partial seizures. I am going to have a video EEG obeservation over 72 hours done as in patient in a hospital. I am also finally going to have a SPINAL TAP. I have been waiting for that.
I have so many symptoms that sounds like MS, but I have had repeat MRI and there is no new leisons. And I am now 64 years old, so not really in the right age group for first symptoms . Is that right? Well, I was actually 62 when I first noted this symptoms, weaknes, vertigo, leg cramps numbness.
So, this was my introduction. I will fallow your site.

At one time MS was known as a "young person's" Disease, affecting those between the ages of 20 and 40. This is no longer the case. Those of all ages can have MS, the very young (Pediatric) and those over 40.

Have you had any MRIs done on your neck or back? Mechanical problems with the back such as a bulging disc which is compromising the spinal cord can cause Neurological symptoms. MS can also affect the spinal cord.
