Diagnosis....

Hi, I'm new here and just wondering how long did it take everyone to get a diagnosis? I'm currently having investigations to see if I have it or if it's something else. I fell down some stairs a few months ago-no idea why, I didn't have dizziness at that specific time and I didn't trip or slip........

Diagnosis

Hi I have had a recent mri identifying inflammation on both spinal cord and brain. I’m seeing neurologist on Friday. Did anyone get a diagnosis with the same mri result? My symptoms are weak left leg, tingling in right hand and poor balance. I also tend to be very sensitive to alcohol.
