Question
Ellen
05/16/08

Do I have MS?

The tests do not reflect MS thus far but my doctor said the tests could be wrong. I have brain lesions.I am experiencing periods of numbness(facial,hands, feet,legs, arms) and pain that is nearly constant now in my legs,feet and low back. When I lay down I have cramps in my legs and toes. I will spasm a lot and the pain is almost unbearable.Sometimes it is almost unbearable to walk and I lose my balance. I have fallen several times from loss of balance. I have memory loss and sometimes confusion. I am on celexa and neurotonin that helps with some of the symptoms but this leg and feet pain is getting worse daily. What can I do? If this is living I had better die soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry for what you are going through! Please don't give up!

 

I always recommend a second opinion from a reputable neurologist. MS is extremely difficult to diagnose. Often tests must be repeated and other conditions must be ruled out.

 

Please continue to seek diagnosis and treatment. You are not alone. Come back and let us know how you are doing.
