In limbo
Hello all,
I’m currently ? MS. My story begun with Chronic Headaches and a bout of vertigo. I had an MRI which showed a lesion on the Corpus Collosum - the middle section between the left and right brain hemispheres. Apparently it’s usually to have a random lesion here. I have had bloods, spinal tap and eye tests which are all clear. I am starting to notice a pattern whereby I have a flu like Illness every 3 or so months, where I suffer from aches and pains, lethargy and dizziness. No one else around me catches this so I feel it’s my immune system reacting. My legs and arms feel a bit weaker than they use to. I need to rest more than I ever needed. I’ve only had mild pins and needles on my right leg. I have to wait another 3 months for a follow up appointment. Does my experience resonate with anyone else?
Hi I woke up with a 'numb'ish foot on the 7th Sept and it spread up my leg to my bum and within one week it was the other leg and 2 months later its my left chest area including breast and i have a constant tremor internally in my body. I also wake up feeling sick. I had an MRI which showed that i have 4 areas on spine of abnormality - not tumors. I am not waiting to see Neurologist to confirm M.S Can anybody recognise these symptoms? Is it M.S or something far worse ?
@floretica and @bec_hollands , yes, these symptoms do resonate with us. They present in MS and a wide variety of other conditions from a simple vitamin deficiency to more complex conditions. This is the province of the Neurologist to gather information and to provide a diagnosis. Your clinical history, i.e. what's been happening to you, is an important part of the investigation. You should be recording all your symptoms, to provide your Neuro with a concise summary. A symptom diary is the best way forward, https://www.mstrust.org.uk/a-z/diary-symptoms
