Odd symptoms need advice - long post!

Good luck! Let us know how you get on :slight_smile:

MRI was last Thursday… interesting experience. Im not worried by confined spaces but I imagine if you were a MRI would be a nightmare. Was in there for an hour, but seemed like 20 minutes, Im sure I napped in there. :slight_smile:

My only discomfort was a bloody itch on my leg that I obviously couldn’t scratch…oh well.

Results tomorrow.

Well got my MRI results today - some good news and bad, but overall I’m happy !!! :slight_smile:

In the words of the Neuro - No sign of anything sinister, no evidence of MS (he mentioned that without prompting), tumours, brain disease or ‘serious’ cervical/spin disease…however my neck has a bulging disc and I have early signs of arthritis in one of my vertebrae which is already impinging on a nerve canal. The bad news is, is that none of this accounts for my symptoms…in the Neuros words again ‘you are very healthy apart from these odd symptoms.’ :slight_smile:

All my new blood tests : vits, hormone, too many to recount etc etc all normal.

Soooooo I suppose I must just see what happens over the next few months or years.

I am ultimately very relieved but disappointed that I have no definitive cause or remedy. Hello Limbo land!

Thanks to everyone for your support over these dark days, your kind words and opinions have been comforting and helpful.

PS - (Had a ENT consultation today as well, Vertigo caused by the inner ear was ruled out… :wink:

MRI results in - read above!

Hi, I didnt see your post back in August, but have caught up with you now.

Limboland is a place inhabited by many many members here…including me, except that I now know i dont have MS…of any kind.

welcome aboard hunny!

luv Pollx

Thanks Boudica…

Over these past months and with all my consultations, not one Neuro, ENT or GP has mentioned Anxiety/Stress/MS as a possible cause, which I have found positive…I too have tried to be disciplined and also tried to not mention any of them fearing the label ‘hypochondriac’. I know I dont fit with the classic MS symptoms, but thats not stopped me worrying unduly…especially after reading one case where ‘pins and needles alone’ lead to a Brain MRI full of lesions and a MS diagnosis.

I know that by no means does all of the above tests rule out MS, but with each ‘clear’, ‘normal’ and ‘negative’ result, takes me a step further away from a clear positive MS diagnosis.

I suppose like many here in Limboland its a waiting game… one that I hope I’ll win!
