Hi everyone I have peripheral neuropathy and my symptoms for months have gotten worse. They now include more pain fuzzy head spasms in my feet heavy legs which go tight when walking weird nerve feelings in my face like wearing an invisible eye mask lack of sleep concentration level not the same. I went back to doc today again and was told i am still waiting for neuro surgeon referral which i have been waiting two months so far. I am getting so frustrated with it all and have no support

Hello all :-) I have my first MS workup in two weeks. I'm actually 61 years young, but when I turned 40 I developed immunological symptoms that my doctors could not figure out. Then at the age of 54 I became disabled with Menieres Syndrome and now I have severe Acquired Intermittent Nystagmous.

I have all the symptoms but getting a doctor to believe me is going to be difficult. Anyway, here I am. Thank you :-)

Hi Brittney! Welcome to NeuroTalk.

It's scary to hear that there's something there that's not supposed to be......but you're on the right path to discovering what it is. Did you have an MRI? Did your doctor read the results to you? Does he have a plan to get to a diagnosis?

It's so hard to wait but it's a process of elimination and it takes a while.

I had an mri done but the reason i went in wasnt even for this they found this though taking pictures of my ears because i had been exprienceing hearing loss and my doc sent me in for an mri and then told me they found white spots on my brain and he was sending me to a nero! i go wensday and i am just really freaked out alot of people have said i might have ms

You might. But there are so many conditions that mimic MS.....it will take the Neuro some time and testing to be able to eliminate other conditions.

Some of us are diagnosed in a relatively short time....others have to wait. I had symptoms for years before I finally got an MS diagnosis.

How old are you? Does anyone else in your family have MS?

I can say "just relax" but I know that's not possible. Keep us informed as to how your Neuro visit went. I hope you have a good doctor!
