Hi, Craterhead ! Welcome to NeuroTalk! I LOVE your moniker!

Dump that neuro and find a real one! MS symptoms are widely varied and all or none of yours could easily be MS. I don't like this guy's attitude, his need to play symantics with you is reason enough to move on to a second opinion.

He was a specialist??? I've never been to a new neuro or specialist where we didn't review some med history. There are definitely leisons associated with MS, The dawson fingers effect is well documented. And pointed out to me by both my neuro and specialist. Plus all the studies that say the sooner you are on a treatment, the chance of slowing progression increases?? Find another for sure.

My first "can't be ignored" symptom was tremors. So yep, MS'ers can get those. My mom (who also had MS) had a few siezures associated with it.

My neuro is also constantly surprised by my strength in the exams, but I have a lot of other stuff I flunk. I just chalk it up to everyone is different.

Welcome Craterhead.. I'm glad you found us.

Yep, get yourself a better Neuro...This one sounds like he's the one who's confused...sheesh.

I've not had tremors or seisures, but my MS is not your MS. And.....any kind of nerve pain and that includes headaches, can happen with MS.
