i'm concerned. i've been in limbo land since 2005. i've been on solu-medrol iv infusion 2 times monthly for the past year now & am scheduled for a baclofen pump surgery may 5th. they have yet to find lesions, but my neuro says he has not ruled out ms. i have been tested & ruled out everything under the sun. my lp showed an elevated mylen basic protien count, but no o-bands. i have offically been dx with the following: transver myletis, 2 cases of on, mylepothy(sp?), lumbar myepothy, degenerative disc disease, & demylenating disease- unspecified(this is the ms undiagnosed). i also have drop foot & severe spasticity & numbness in my right leg & have to wear a legbrace just so i can walk. i am in the process of applying for disability which my neuro & the dr.'s at my pain clinic definitly feel i need to be on. my thing is some of you have stated that you can get a clinical dx w/out the lesions. with all of the things that i have that are usually due to ms, why won't my neuro go ahead & give me the dx so i can get on the ms drugs to keep me from getting any worse. there are patients that i talk to while i'm getting my infusions that state that it took them 13 years to have lesions present & they had everything i have & now she is crippled & in a wheelchair because she didn't get meds soon enough. this terrifies me!!!! i don't won't thisto happen to me. my neuro knows it's ms or he wouldn't keep telling me he'snot ruling it out, so why won't he get off his butt & help me. i have 2 daughters (14 & 6 ) to raise & i don't need to be sitting around stressed out worring about if i have ms or not when i just know that i do. any suggestions?
