Hey Daniel - Thanks for your response. I had a brain and C-spine CT and no evidence of stroke,tumor,etc seen. Neuro's eval of me they say is normal. My symptoms don't feel normal!! I have been pushing for an MRI for a few months now and no one wants to order one because it'll require surgery to explant the pacer I (which my GI surgeon already said he'd do, and HAS done a few times before) .....There is no way to get an MRI with a pacer, I've asked many docs, even the techs//nurses that run the MRI machines ....

Another question, if you know, can you have a normal neuro exam and still have MS?

Also, I'm wondering how common it is for people to have an initial MS symptom as how I presented? A lot of my complaints, from the start, revolved around muscle twitching, spasms, and weakness, all on the left side -- not the "typical" initial MS attacks that I have read about "numbness", "optic neuritis", some eye problems, etc ......

Thanks again for responding!

hey C_TEC DANIEL AGAIN and it is possible to have M.S and not have lesions. I had BACTERIAL MENENGITIS WHEN I was a baby and almost died. A couple of years later I was always feeling sick and weak,fatique. I had a bad attack when at a lake when I was twelve. I almost drowned two years later and no med evidence was found. I found I had M.S. 20 years later. Your lesions may be too small to see. I heard addisons can act like this too! I guess the only thing I can suggest is find out if anyone in your family has or has had M.S. This disease can be hereditary. May I suggest a endocronologist for blood work that other docs do not check for. I guess I sound like a broken record but maybe other test you have not taken can reveal something else. Perhaps a family member had something else. Well I hope they track down whatever is wrong with you soon!!  bye for now bless you bunches!!!
