Hi I’m just new here and wanted some advice please,I’ve been having issues since November last year these include dizziness,balance issues memory issues and I also get shaking hand and legs there’s also a few other symptoms,I have now been referred for an mri scan and they’re scanning the small part of my brain is this how ms is diagnosed? Thank you
I’m no expert but I think that yes, an MRI scan is the usual means and it was in my case ( glad I didn’t have to have a lumbar thing !).
Whether the scans are usually in just one part of the brain I’ve no idea, but I suppose it’s possible that from the type of symptoms you are experiencing it’s possible to narrow the scan down to the relevant areas of the brain
I had a scan of my whole brain, upper spine and something to do with my eyes too. If they haven’t specifically said it’s possible MS they may have a different thought on what it might be.
Hi
Did they say they are only scanning a small part of your brain?
Never heard of that before.
Normally its a full brain scan with MS.
Hey yeah she said its a mri scan on the small part of my brain I’ve also had a heart trace done
Never of heard of this for MS.
Could be wrong though, new to MS myself.
