Hi Everyone!

It's been a long time since I've logged in. Mostly because the specialist that I've been seeing downgraded me from my previous diagnosis of "Definite MS" to what I affectionately call "MS Watch." However, he told me that if his diagnosis relied entirely on my MRI, he would say that I have it. He says that even though I have 30+ lesions in my brain and numb/tingly fingers, I must exhibit symptoms or lesion formation through dissemination in time and space. So, he took me off the Avonex back in July. I was on it for the majority of the time between MRIs, so there was no progression to be seen on my last one. My next MRI is set for March. Fingers crossed for no progression. While I really do hate being in limbo, I also am grateful to see that I'm likely progressing slowly, if at all.

Anywho... the question that I have for y'all is this: Do any of you ever get minor dizzy/lightheaded spells? I've been getting them in split second doses for the last 2 or 3 weeks. They happen in random intervals all day long, every day. They're not majorly disrupting or anything, just odd feeling. I've been healthy and feeling great, other than these episodes. I guess I'm just wondering if I should consider this to be a new symptom, i.e. dissemination.

Do any of you have any fabulous advice for me? I'd love to hear whatever you have to say! Thanks!
