Newbie!

New diagnosis and before diagnosis

Just wanted to say hello as I’ve been lurking for a while & decided it was time to be able to give as well as take good advice here!

My story so far… ended up hearing “possibly MS” after a year of problems & urgent referral to ENT by my Gp. ENT consultant decided I was a “mystery” & sent me for MRI brain/inner ear " probably nothing…" Scan results show " high signal foci in frontal & parietal lobes" so now I’m off to see a neurologist on Wednesday 12th ( been waiting six weeks & learning alot lurking on here!)

This isn’t the first time MS has been mentioned to me as I had a back related episode ( pins & needles, sensory loss, saddle symptoms) twenty years ago. But after the initial mutterings /references to MS it went away & I was scanned & subsequently treated for disc problems. I’ve continued to manage that now chronic back problem with episodes of pins & needles etc with osteopathy & physio. I also do Pilates five days a week.

I won’t bore you anymore but just wanted to say “hi!” & thank you for sharing!

Hi Cygnet

Hello and welcome to the forum. I hope all goes well at your neuro appointment and that you get some answers. At least he will already have the MRI results to look at, so you may be a step closer to some answers that you would have been otherwise. Let us know how you get on.
