[date=2022-02-03 timezone=“Europe/London”]Hi, newbie here! Not sure where to start, recently had a MRI for MS symptoms, appt with neurologist isn’t I till august (31 wk lead time) so just wanted to ask… I have really bad fatigue and also bad spasms/twitching these can be up to 30 times a day on bad days, bladder issues,headaches dizziness, pins and needles forgetting words etc , I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 4 years ago and since then everything gets blamed on that so I suppose I’m worried they will
Put it down to that. Can you still have MS if no lesions on scan? Do any of these symptoms relate to what your all going through!? Thank u for your time in answering x
Sorry you are having a rough time and that you have a long wait for a neuro appointment. They are the only ones who can give you a proper assessment to help with a diagnosis. If there are no options for a private consultation you will have to become an expert in how your body is behaving. Keep a diary of what is happening to you and try to get a feel for what works or doesn’t with regard to fatigue. I had to try a few things before I found what works for me. (And this can also vary on a daily/hourly basis) if your symptoms change significantly, hassle your GP if it is easier to help expedite a referral than to cope with being hassled….
What no one wants is for your condition to become unnecessarily worse or more expensive to treat. Wishing you all the best

Hi thank you for replying I appreciate it, yes am writing everything down even how many spasms a day I have etc, there’s a three wk wait on MRI results so hopefully they show something then my doctor will push for appt to be sooner I hope. I think I have just got a brick wall and have enough now been a rough few years and just seems one thing after another all time and always feel like I’m constantly saying ow this is wrong and that’s wrong , go back three years and I worked 80-100 hours a wk and still cooked and cleaned for the kids and hubby and now I so abit and need to sit down or even have a nap just don’t think I’m used to having to just stop and recharge all time . Take care
