Its rather unusual for a GP to either diagnose or rule out MS. In fact it’s rare for a GP to request an MRI. The usual route is that you see a GP, explain your symptoms and then are referred to a neurologist. The neurologist would then order tests, probably starting with an MRI but also including a lumbar puncture and a visual evoked potential (LP and VEP).
Then the neurologist would review the tests together with your symptoms and history and either make a diagnosis or fail to come to a conclusion and either adopt a wait and see attitude, or order further tests.
Maybe you should go back to your GP and ask for a referral. The problem for us reading your post is that it could be MS or it maybe isn’t. Only a neurologist is really capable of making that decision.
Hi everyone or anyone. I think im loosing my mind lol. Several years 8, of strange symptoms including feeling like my trunk is being crushed, right hand looking like a claw for several days, pain behind the eye around 4 years ago, terrible dizzy spells which affect my speech, leaking bladder and for the last 5 months struggling to walk unaided up and down stairs. most mornings cant put my bra on because left arm does not want to bend. I have seen the Gp in October 16 and appointment for neuro is in April 2017. Gp thinks im potty. I am actually an experienced psychiatric nurse who has been hiding symptoms from employer until today. Can anyone suggest anything.
