Hi. Can someone help me figure this out??
 

Hi,
I'm new to this forum but I have a question for anyone out there with MS. My 15yo daughter has just been told she has MS in her brain stem. Her history includes CNS Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella, Epilepsy, Ventricular Tachycardia to name a few.

She's had an abnormal BAER test, nystagmus, ataxia and her neurologist feels it is in the brain stem. We are very scared. Her neuro. and her Lyme doc want her to get IVIG, but we are in the process for that.

She has a central line and is on IV Rocephin, IV Zithromax, Keppra, Lamictal, Zonergran, Atenolol and a few other meds daily. All as a result of the Lyme infection not diagnosed and allowed to run rampant in her body since birth.

We need some input. Thanks. Lymiegal

Hi Lymiegal! Welcome to NeuroTalk! :welcome_sign:

I'm so sorry your daughter is having such a time of it.....wow, she is on a lot of very strong medications.

I see Cheri has given you the link to the MS Forum. There is a very large MS group here and we'd love to have you join us. I've also posted the link to the Lyme and Other Microbial Conditions Forum. You might possibly find some help there, too.

Welcome to NeuroTalk from me as well.

I feel for you as any other mother would, knowing how hard this must be for yourself and your daughter. She certainly seems to have been through more than her own fair share lately, and I truly hope she gets relief soon.

Chemar and Herekitty have given you some good links to get you started, and I hope to meet you some more around the forums.

Hi Hon:

You've been given very good advice and direction from the others here on Neurotalks. I can't add anything to what they said.

I can however give you a cyber hug.:hug:
