pritykity,

I am so sorry to hear what you're going through. I dont have any idea what you have but i just want to know that im thinking of you, it sounds terrible and you're so young too. I dont think the MRI would have missed anything, i think these are very accurate, maybe get a 2nd opinion on it. Have you had a spinal tap done or had a lumbar MRI? maybe these would help. The only person who can help you will be the neurologist, and since you're in a bad state i dont think you should be waitng to see him. You should be in hospital getting this investigated as i dont think its something you should be waiting around for. Good luck and keep us posted.

Have you had a lumbar pucture? Evoked potentials? What labs were ordered?
