Welcome, I don't understand (or take as gospel) radiologist speak so I look for myself. You said ya have mri on cd but can't use it, program should be included on disc but if not, Onis is best & only program i've found that lets you import multiple scans/discs to compare.

There's quite a few images posted here though all I know is more dots = bad & damage on one side of brain effects opposite side of body..except for eyes? Someone clear that up for me please.

Wondering if left side of your brain has lesions/dots since right side of bod has less feeling.

Also wondering about blood flow to & fro brain. Ask for a doppler of neck area. An MRA scan might not be a bad thing either.

Depression meds- good for you if you finally found a good one!
mrsD might've been right for more then you regarding low B's & Folic levels.

Good luck, you're young, careful with cleaning chemicals.

I don't have the recent scan on a CD. The one I have from a year and a half ago, I do. The radiologist report came as a piece of paper in the mail comparing the one I do have on a CD to the one I don't have on a CD.

I got blood tested a few days ago, they're checking for b vitamins among other things. I should hopefully know the results in a few days.

Had a panic attack a few days ago, but the meds I'm on work directly on my depression and not on my anxiety. But they have me on Clonazopam for the anxiety.

As for other scans, I'm going to wait to see what they say after the blood test. It's come to the point where my dad won't help me pay my medical bills, so I'm having to pay them myself with making around $400 every 2 weeks, sometimes 3 weeks. And having other bills on top of that.

The cleaning supplies are supplied by my company that I clean for. I know I use WD-40 to shine sinks and some special cleaner to clean everything else. I have a duster to dust everything, so no dusting chemicals. But I'll be careful.

Thank you for your reply

Default Finally got the phone call

On Friday, I finally got the results of the blood test. They told me everything they tested for (including B12) was normal except I had low blood sugar. But I had only had a glass of milk before going to get blood tested, so that's probably why. They also told me they didn't find anything on my spinal MRI and that everything looked normal. They said that they're going to discuss whether they just want to see me in 3 months or to send me to a different neurologist.

At this point, I don't know what I want to do. I'm thinking about quitting trying to find out what's wrong with me. It's obvious that they don't really care. So, maybe I shouldn't as well. Maybe it is just all in my head. I'm still getting the zaps when I look left or right with my eyeballs, but it's only when I lay down or when I'm sitting in my chair, mostly at night.

Any advice on what I should do? Should I just give up?

You don't have to give up, but, unless your symptoms are too horrible to live with
and you've been tested and cleared of other diseases, then just get on with your
life and stay in a "wait and see" mode. Breath, be happy.

If things get bad again, then you are probably ready for more tests.
MS is a creepy little disease that creeps up on you and bam, there it is again.
