Hi everyone!
I called my dr's office today and finally got results from my mri. They said everything was normal! She asked was I still having problems and I told her yes, that just last night I had some tingling / numbness in my left arm but that I would wait and see what happens....
I'm just relieved that nothing showed up.......I know that a clear mri doesn't rule out certain things but I think I'm going to just quit focusing on this so much and see what happens.

I read in another post some where I think on the nutrition boards, that they missed MS in one person due to only scanning the brain for lesions and did not do the spine, later turned out they had lasions on their spine which was missed due to no spine scan or something like that...... Don't wanna freak you out, just thought I would let you know in case you continue to have problems. I too, have been having numbness and tingling, pricking sensations and muscle weakness on my right side, though and will be having a MRI done only to brain in a week. I wish they would do the spine too and get it over with. Have you had any problems swallowing? I get this and it's really effecting me badly......... can't eat well or much die to almost choaking every time. Food just sort of sits in back of throat past tonsils and wont move.............

Hi T,
I have had swallowing problems at times in the past but nothing like what you describe or what I've read from others, so I'm not sure if it's related or not.
I also have to be honest with myself - I do know, from reading here, that just because I had one clear mri, that doesn't absolutely mean i'm out of the woods. I guess maybe I just want to try and not focus on my symptoms so much because I believe I was getting a bit too focused on them before! I just want to make sure I'm not causing my symptoms, you know?
Thanks for your concern as I really appreciate it! Just taking it as it comes!
Take care!

I know exactly what you mean and I do think that focusing on it too much can make it seem bigger than it has to. I had all this trouble swallowing and the more I think about it the worse it gets. If I don't think about it, it's nearly nothing.... So, I agree fully & from this second (or at least after I do my scans tomorrow) refuse to even pay attention to it or talk about it. It seems to get worse when I talk about it too.
