Hi All,
i maybe worrying over nothing, but I know forums are a great source of help.
i will get my MRI results this week, but I know this may not give a ‘full diagnosis’.
for over a year now, things have been getting worse as far as 'symptoms ’ go.
Started with pain in my feet, not great pain but noticeable.
Since then the pain is now quite severe and i hobble like an old man as it is too painful to just walk normally and the pain is all down both legs now. I have spates of trouble swallowing, like it gets stuck halfway through the swallowing action.
My hearing has also deteriorated, again it seems to be in spates and we did a simple test (stupid I know) were we turned the TV down to zero and turned it up one at a time until we could hear ‘proper’ words. My family could hear fine when the volume was on 5/6, but it took up to 20 before I could make out words.
My back started hurting around 6 months ago and unfortunately I have also soiled myself a few times when I got the urge to go to loo but it came on so quick that I couldn’t make it.
Also, my white blood cell count is very high, so much so that I had tests to rule out leukaemia.
When I mentioned MS to my doctor he didn’t even look up and virtually dismissed it, ‘let’s see what the MRI says’
I feel like im not getting any better and wondered if any of you had the same symptoms as above. My results should be back on Tuesday but I want to go armed with any and as much info as I can when I go to see my GP for the results. I don’t want to self diagnose as that isn’t the way to go and I hate reading the minefield that is the net.
Sorry if I’m sounding negative, but I’m fed up with the pain now - even tramadol didn’t help.
thanks for reading
cheers
Keith
