I'm sorry you're dealing with all of this, Sarah. It's bad enough when you have a dx of MS...but to be told it's not neurological in nature is just ridiculous. If it were me I think I'd look for a new Neuro.

Were your MRI's just of the brain or were they of the brain and cervical spine?

Lots of for you....

Hi Sarah,

Sorry about all the symptoms you've been having. I've had numb legs off and on over the years. It typically gets worse if I'm having a flare up or if I'm sick or overdoing it.

I hope the doctor can help Sweetie.

I know what a long struggle you've had with docs, and am praying you find the right one soon.

My numbness is loss of sensation in the right side, which gets worse at night. I've almost fallen off the bed before because I couldn't tell where the end of it was. It's weird lying there some nights, feeling one leg like normal and the other isn't. When it first started, used to keep me up at night a little.

I know how you feel and I also don't have MS, but everytime I fall my legs go numb first, like they are not there at all! I am trying to look at bright side...I must have had 2,000 nicks on both legs from shaving (cheap razor) and went into ocean and felt hardly a sting when it should have hurt like hell!!

Sweet Sarah,
Gosh, I feel so bad for you...you tried to just ignore it all, I know. And you work FT, and take care of the kids, all the while dealing with these sxs. It's time for you to go somewhere to get this thing dxd...maybe Mayo?

Prayers going out for you, girl...take care of yourself!

Man, I am angry FOR YOU !!! OK, how bout showing your PCP all that you are going through and have your PCP call a Neuro?? ANY neuro? At least your PCP could order the right MRI's.

How much more do you need before someone does something??? Geezzzz

HUGS my dear one. Are you in or near a big city? I know you're in Michigan.

I feel so badly for you.... Its ok you came home from work, you needed too. Maybe there just IS too much stress... a manager of a fast food place??? Insanity

Keep us posted and let us know... but SOME ONE SOMEWHERE MUST KNOW SOMETHING!!!!

Much love and caring thoughts my dear

Jan

My dear Sarah... YESSS Have your PCP call a neuro any neuro, and tell them all that you are going through. And/or... try a Rhuemie...they are amazing at diagnosing too.. or ruling out.

I wish you could see my nutritionist. He help give me relief, much so, after everyone else did not know what to call "it" or how to treat "it" except to add more and more meds.

I luv you too!! Hey.. Im half way up Wisconsin, in Algoma (just south of Green Bay) I will send you loving thoughts that give you ANSWERS across Lake MIchigan.

Wish I could help you out more

Jan
