Went to see Neuro today.

New diagnosis and before diagnosis

Hi everyone,

I went to see a neuro today…my first appointment with one. He asked me about all my symptoms etc…gave me reflex tests…with hammers and pins…said he’d book and MRI scan…but said very unlikely that I have MS…more likely that I may have Fibro or ME…and he will do more tests eventually. I may just have to live with this …or I could take drugs and have side effects…! I left feeling quite bad. Will just have to wait now. I really don’t know what to do.

Try not to be disheartened - the MRI may well prove him wrong! And if it doesn’t, at least you’ll know it’s unlikely to be MS.

One day at a time.

Hi…Thanks for the replys.

No I’m in Exeter, Devon…went to the RD&E. No idea how long I’ve got to wait for this test…he never mentioned Lumbar punch. He asked me If I was taking anything for it…like paracetamol…??..
