A work friends husband is having nerve problems of some sort. Yesterday we had a housewarming to attend and later he told his wife that his left leg was numb the whole time. He has been to neurologist, MS specialist--MRI's, spinal tap, poked and proded and nothing. Two docs say it isn't MS, one is sure it probably is. He sometimes has moments of completely confused thinking, numb fingers, numb toes, dizziness. The first they noticed was an evening he came home from work and had a severe headache. He got out of the chair to go upstairs to lay down and got dizzy. His wife helped him to bed and he seemed very confused. She told him she was taking him to the hospital and he refused, so she called his paramedic friends to come take him. He decided then he was going, started downstairs, stumbled near the bottom of the steps and broke his toe. She got him in a chair and the paramedics came in. He couldn't talk to them, couldn't remember their names for a time. All tests came back normal, no stroke, nothing. That's when they decided maybe it's MS. All the tests have shown nearly nothing. I told her last night that maybe he should be checked for neuropathy and see what comes up--I even mentioned him being tested for celiacs, some celiacs never have symptoms and that would account for the nerve damage he seems to be suffering.

Any ideas out there? I am trying to get him to take B12 and see if it helps.
