I am actually wondering if the sinus infection I have been fighting for the last week and a half is causing all of this. The doc thinks it might be causing the eye issue, but he is sending me in for more blood and urine testing before putting me on an antibiotic for the sinus thing.

ABSOLUTELY, legz.

NEVER LEAVE INFECTION untreated when you have spinal cord lesions!!

That is how all of my TM attacks have started.

Now get in there and DEMAND antibiotics NOW if you are sure you have an infection . . . regardless of whether he "thinks" it could be causing problems. Trust me, it is!!

I agree with Cherie, dont screw around with infections. The doctor, if he's not your neuro, and hasnt had many MS patients, might not realize the seriousness of an MSer with an infection.

Do you have a fever? If you do, you might want to ask your doctor what to do to take care of that...(I know what to do, but it's practicing medicine without a license for anyone other than a doctor to suggest that you take anything for it, so ask your doctor. Sorry, my Medical Ethics class is being channeled thru me right now.)
