Hello there everybody I hope you are all as well as can be today. Im a newbie here and have a few questions. Around 5 years ago i strongly believed that i may have MS due to having many related symptoms. I pursued this to be told that i had had a silent stroke and had a lesion on my brain. This has never been followed up and still struggle with the symptoms to this day. My Auntie died of MS and recently have been contacted by my sister to urge me to get tested for MS as she has been diagnosed with it and as i had had Glandular fever in the past (quite severe when i was 14). I was shocked about this and today have my appointment with the Neurologist. Apparently research links MS with the Epstein Barr Virus which causes Glandular Fever. I have asked my doxtor whether MS can hide itself and apparently it can. Does anyone have any advice and shoukd i push for a lumbar punch to finally get a definitive answer. I have multiple health issues but i also relate to many symptoms of MS. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Geoff
