I Took Everyone's Advice

I took everyones advice and went to a new neurologist. My pcp sent him a letter of my health history. You just won't believe the head MRI results she sent him! I was never told the true result. I have 25 small areas t2 of hyperintensity in the petriventricular cerebral white matter, the largest area is in the left frontal white matter at the level of the frontal horns at the level of the lateral ventricles. What that means is, I have a demylinating desease. The Neuro wants to look at the xrays himself. His test in the office showed no hand eye coordination on left side and I can't walk toe to toe I loose my balance and have hyper reflexes. I can go on. I went to see my ortho dr and he said I have osteoarthritis in my spine. I don't know how much is arthritis and how much is this other disease. The pain is intense. While holding my arm up in the neuro's office I had a muscle spasm and he felt the knot on my back. He said he is really worried about me. So my news wasn't good and i think he thinks I have MS. I have MRI's scheduled for brain, cerebral, and thorasic. He couldn't didn't do mri of my spine. What do you all take for this awful fatique? Dr. said the biggest complaint from people with ms is fatique. Love and Hugs to All, Lily1954

Re: I Took Everyone's Advice

LILY1954,

I'm glad you went for a second opinion.Shame on your first.No one wants to hear they have MS or another disease,but knowing that there is somethings wrong and the DR dismisses you is worse than having a disorder.
Your new neuro is on top of things.For the fatigue I take short little naps,I don't really know how much is fatigue from MS or if its coming from my meds.
Toni
