Default New here

Hi, I’m Christi, 41, and do not yet have a diagnosis yet, but have some neurological symptoms that come and go. I have one lesion on my brain, have had a clear LP and clear VEP almost 2 years ago. I have just had a 3rd brain MRI with no new lesions. Hope to get to know y'all soon!

Default Getting checked for MS again

Hi everyone. I usually post in the peripheral neuropathy forum. My symptoms are progressing--more numbness, tingling, muscle soreness & cramps. Legs that feel like jelly. Tight feeling in abdomen that comes and goes. Brain fog that is new for me. My last head MRI was 2 1/2 yrs ago, and entire spine within last 4 yrs. Crystal clear, all of them. I've never had an LP, but my neuro is finally doing it. He says my progressing symptoms are very suspicious for MS. It's been over 12 yrs of symptoms for me, and I just don't know how to feel about it. Thanks for listening

Hi Jenng and Welcome to the MS forum of NeuroTalk.. So sorry for your increase
in and progression of your SX. I hope that you and your Neuro can get to the bottom
of it and figure it all out. It's the not knowing that is so stressful.

Please let us know how the LP and other tests go and stay as calm as you can. The
stress only makes all your sx worse. Be kind to yourself.

Default Should get my results this week...

My brain MRI was 2 weeks ago and LP one week ago. Yesterday I called my neuro's office since no one had called with any news. Surprisingly, he called himself late in the day and left a voicemail (sooo mad I didn't hear the phone ring...grrrr...) He said he would have his assistant make time for me this week for a follow up appointment. This sounds foreboding to me. If everything was fine, I'm thinking he would've just said so on voicemail. I'm trying to just not think about what if's. But honestly, my anxiety is through the roof.
