Hi there
I’ve been on the neurological pathway for 4 years now following the death of my father. I have internal symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, word finding problems as well as physical symptoms like muscle cramps and spasms, numbness of limbs so complete lack of use of them, weakness in hands, tingling, burning, pins and needles, bladder weakness, chest pain (not heart), etc etc.
I had some MRIs a few years ago and whilst they weren’t perfect, they were never redone. Bloods were clear. Not had a spinal tap/lumbar puncture.
I was diagnosed with ME and Fibromyalgia last year, but I’ve been rereferred to the top Neurology hospital in London to reinvestigate MS.
Is there anyone here - or is it possible - to be diagnosed just from symptoms alone because, say, MRIs are clear? Or do you have to have symptoms and at least one abnormal test?
As my GP thinks, and I agree, I tick nearly every single symptom of MS, and when watching videos of patients, it’s like looking in a mirror.
Thanks in advance! V.
