I had headaches, dizzyness and imbalance issues for years, but MRI after MRI my doctor would say they were "within normal limits" and I was sent away as a whiner, or the MD would tell me about migraine syndromes. I got very little answers and MS was never even on my radar screen. I retired and moved to the back woods. A local MD was doing my yearly exam when he said "I think you have MS" and I told him I thought he was crazy. I had been tested, and tested, and dont want anymore tests, or bad treatment. He talked me into the MRI, ordered the old MRIs to compare, and sent me to the northland where the MS clinic is. They said "yep, its MS. its been MS for a long time" I had no idea!

I hope you find the answers you seek.

Welcome...

Sounds like fibromylagia to me. I got diagnosed with fibro in the mid 80s, and what you described is the best description of the pain I've ever read.

They now have drugs to helps reduce fibro pain...do some research on it, and then you might want to mention this possibility to your doc next time.


Hope you feel better real soon
