Not yet diagnosed

Good evening my name is Bobby and three weeks ago I developed a dropfoot on my left side two days after I started to get pins and needle is in my left leg and left arm I have private insurance so my GP sent a request and I was seen by a neurologist probably about two days later my neurologist sent me for a nerve conduction test which I will get the results tomorrow evening I’ve also had to MRI scans one on my head and one on my lower back both came back clear since then I’ve been developing new symptoms my question would be what would I go and speak to my neurologist about tomorrow because I’m almost convinced it’s MS I also have the other symptoms which is memory loss headaches nausea loss of balance and so forth any advice would be appreciated Bobby

Hi @bobby79. Indeed, some of your symptoms could be indicative of MS but could also indicate lota of other things too. By a clear MRI do you mean no lesions? Most people with MS would have lesuons. Luckily for you, you are being fast tracked through private healthcare. Most of us have had diagnosis verified by a lumbar puncture. Good luck with the tests, let us know how you go!

Hi! Yeah reading what you’ve put, your symptoms definitely sound like MS symptoms. That’s said, I agree with what vixen said you’d have lesions in your brain/spinal cord which should appear on the mri scan. Did they use a contrast die for your MRI? Of course I’m not a doctor and there’s tons of other conditions out there apart from MS. Good luck with it, and let us know how it goes tomorrow.
