For two months now (and from reading, I know some have been waiting longer for a dx), I've been having neurological problems. I think I have some things that go back further than that (ie - numbness & tingling on my right side). Every test I've had has came back within normal ranges -- and I've had MRIs, spinal tap, and EEG.

My life has came to a much different place and that's been the hard part. Because of my tremors, fatigue, and balance problems, I'm unable to work at the moment.

I don't wish MS on anyone -- but according to a specialist at Duke I saw, my symptoms are most closely inline with that prognosis. I don't care what it is, I just want to know what it is so I can know how to live my life...

thanks for letting me vent and add my two cents...

Hi MrsWufie. Are you getting treated for any of your symptoms even w/o a dx?

I got my dx 4 months after my first onset of paralysis. They pretty much knew but had to wait until another episode.

I think having a DX definately validates everything you are going through. Without one, I think you will always have that doubt in the back of your mind. You also can't get on a CRAB if you want to. But some can get treated for their symptoms, and I hope that is the case for most of you...
