I never did get the spinal. The neuro sat with me, did a ton of non invasive testing (walking on toes/heels/one foot in front of the other), reflex tests, sensitivity tests (detecting cold and warm). He checked lymph nodes, checked eyes, a whole bunch of things.
The MRI results that I got back, he said are very commonly seen on migraine flare ups. I am a lifetime migraine sufferer. He told me, you're incredibly healthy. I am still going for blood work and such, but I am relieved to hear he does not believe this to be MS at this time. I do have neck and torso issues he wants to further investigate to rule out other things before doing a spinal, so I will be back in the big machine of clinketty clank shortly for more testing.
He prescribed a migraine medication to see if it helps relieve symptoms. Half my symptoms are slowly improving due to diet change and probiotics/oil of oregano daily, including the burning mouth which is all but gone now. Thank goodness!
MS has not been completely ruled out, but for the moment is least suspected. I appreciate the support you folks have provided to this point.
