Default Progresive Concern

So I think some of you have seen the multiple posts I have posted in the past few weeks. I have some concerns that I may have the Progressive type of MS. MRI was cleaned and the Evoked Potential Test for vision was fine. I did have an issue with the right foot that came back slightly abnormal.

My current issues are fatigue, concentration/irritability, anxiety, mild vision distortion, and my right foot feels funny. It's not "foot drop" but it feels numb. I have noticed that my hands feel weak at times as well. I have MG but my doc is testing for MS with a lumbar puncture this Friday. I guess i am just concerned because from what I understand Progressive MS may not illuminate on an MRI and I may only have lesions on the spine. I'm very scared and I wish I could chaulk this up to anxiety but the symptoms are very real. My right foot went numb when I was playing kickball and it didin't return until I rested it an hour after the game. For the past two days my leg feels weird. I'll let my doc know, it's just been 4 weeks since the vision issues and they can't figure out why. Hoping and Praying

have you had an MRI with and without contrast?

As to the lumbar puncture, make sure you lie down as much as possible afterwards-bathroom visits and meals the only vertical positions. And buy drinks with loads of caffeine...it minimizes side effects of lumbar puncture. I used Monster drinks.

Let us know what's up.

Is MG miasthenia gravis?
