Hi Annie K, it seems you haven’t really got any answers, however if he is an Ms specialist I am sure he knows what he is looking for so hopefully he is right and it is a mixture of other things that are causing all of these problems for you. I have my MRI tonight but only because I insisted I wanted to pay for one and hopefully I will get some answers from that soon. These symptoms are awful; last night I could hardly feel my right forearm and my face felt numb in certain areas too and today I feel like my whole body is trembling as I am so anxious and worried. Hope you feel better soon and keep me updated with your progress x
Hi NKristy - good luck tonight, gosh you are getting your MRI really quickly so hopefully you will get some reassurance from that, I really hope you do because I know only too well what all the stress and worrying is like. Let me know how you get on for sure - I will say wee prayer all goes well for you. xx
Thank you Blossom also for your advice, my apt this morning was private which is what my daughter is basically saying, she reckons if the neuro believed there was any merit in giving me an MRI he would have referred me because he knew I was paying privately. One of the things he did mention was the possibility of a trapped nerve so I have an apt with a well recommended chiropracter on Friday so hopefully maybe he can shed some light on the problems because I do know that a trapped nerve could be responsible for alot of my symptoms - that said I would have thought the neuro would have recommended I see one but anyway, he didn’t. I will try to settle myself now for a week (have started the B12 already) and in a week’s time when I’ve taken some time to settle myself i will call and request an MRI if I think it would help. Thank you so much once again for your advice and your responses to me - I am sure this forum is inundated with panicked people like myself desperately looking for advice - can I just say that yours and all the advice I got above was so so helpful in getting me through the last week, i truly can’t thank you enough and tell you how much the advice above has meant to me, you are so kind and will stay in my prayers xxx
People kept telling me mine was a trapped nerve and it wasn’t my neuro said Ms or artharitis in the neck I would push for a mri just to be sure, people kept telling me I was fine when I went gp he was like “what you doing with sticks” I said I can’t walk without them, useless gp in end I changed and got dx with PPMS and I have a Ms specialist too, although at moment it’s possibly progressive but been like this since 2013 no relapse no improvement just gotten worse not better.
good luck Annie
