Hi its my first post
Ive been having symptoms for over a year possibly alot longer if i think about it . I had a mri of the neck for pins and needles and arm pain as negative for carpole tunnel.
Found a lesion to my c2 6 mo th later no change to lesion but possibly another one further down . Awaiting another mri .had spinal fluid taken positive. Was told on tuesday i have mild ms by the neurologist. My problem is i dont think its mild ,i suffer everyday most of the time its a different issue each day i never have a day without a issue. Its either eye pain , blurry vision , swollowing issues , Leg pain mega tired , heavy legs , pins and needles , feeling of electric shocks to different parts of the body , numb skin ,numb toes or fingers pai ful neck moreso when cold and more .what dose other people think ?
Thanks again
Hi @Denise13 … Sounds like you need some reassurance perhaps you need to go and have a chat with your GP and find out where you go from here. Have you got a follow up appointment with the neurologist?
Hi
Yes he is sending me too someone who specialises in ms .
But i just feel that the way i keep and the amount of symptoms i have isnt mind .
Thanks again
Hi Denise, hang in there perhaps when you get to see a specialist it will all make sense. MS is such a tricky illness and labels don’t necessarily reflect how individuals feel or are experiencing symptoms. Try not to worry about what was said, look forward. Do you know how long it will be before you see someone?
I need a head and spinal mri doing ,i just got a appointment for the head scam today for july , i wonder why they wont do both at the same time .
Im quessing after the scans are done
How frustrating is that. I had the same over scans of my shoulders and knees scans separated out It doesn’t make sense, unless on the day it requires a different radiographer.
Out of interest how long did it take to get your MRI in July, if not long you may have been given a cancellation, which was originally booked for someone else as head only, hence you not getting your spine one as well.
Morning Rogue I thought I was the only one that got up at a crazy hour on a Saturday. Have a good day.
I am beyond trying to figure out the logic behind the appointment system and linking procedures together, its completely random.

Morning Sam, my sleep is as random as appointments
