Could this mean....... - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

Hello, I am looking for a little help. I have several symptoms that are related to MS. I do not have a DX as of yet. I have had both MRI'S on the brain and spine. The Neuro that I first saw said that nothing was wrong with me except depression. So I went to another Neuro and she concluded with the first. The only other thing that she said is that she would have their NeuroRadiologist look at my MRI'S and then get back to me. The report that I got from the NeuroRadiolosist said that they found "Two, small foci of T2 prolongnation in the subcortal white matter. Findings are nonspecific." What does this mean? Could this mean possible MS? I also should add that I also have 2 other Autoimmune disorders. Could I maybe have 3 now?

Thanks HisAngel

Thanks HisAngel

I don't know for sure if you have one autoimmune disorder you are sure to get more but I also have autoimmune problems. One is Hypo thyroid and the other is pernicious anemia which has symptoms much like MS but is very curable. I also have restless leg. Be sure to have your doctors check your B12 levels for pernicious anemia. You can read some of my other posts for some of the symptoms I had. By-the-way I was also told I was depressed by 4 doctors before they found the real problem.

Thanks. I also have Hypo and PA. Taking shots every two weeks. Started this over six months ago. So all the symptoms I had due to that are gone. Hypo is well in range due in part to a great Endo. These other symptoms I am having could be related to any of the three. But with the treatment of the others these symptoms really never went away. So I dont know what else to think.
