since last sat. have been having these episodes, went to hsp. on mon. evening, MRI, CT scan normal, blood pressure, sugar normal, EKG,EEG normal too.
Episodes approx. every 48 hours with severe headache, pain in left eye, numbness in right hand and slurred speach. Tongue feels thick.
Hi R.
I'm glad to hear that all your tests so far have come back "normal". I would suggest seeing a Migraine specialist who is an expert in Migraine disease and headache disorders to get a feel for what is really going on. We have a list of patient recommended specialists you can see HERE.
Good luck
Dear R
When you had your MRI was it ordered with MS protocol? That means nothing less than a 1.5 T machine, using contrast and slices no more than 3mm in width on brain and spine..if not, make sure they rule out MS with proper protocol. I have had similar signs and symptoms to you as well as other muscular fatigue and twitches, visual probs and walking etc and I thought that MS was ruled out, which they said it was in the begining but I found a site on google after asking "Can you have MS with a negative MRI scan"? five pages of very interesting reading, Dont take their word for it, investigate, this is YOUR LIFE, I just wish I could find a Dr that is as passionate about my life as I am. I am a single mother with four children and their father is living with ALS, and I have no answers on my own problems of the past 6 months,
Good Luck, Kindest Regards
Tracey
