what happens next?
I had a similar post (about radiologist's report) but really didn't get any responses; I think it might have been too confusing so I'm trying a different angle.
I've had 7 new symptoms pop up over the past 2 months--muscle jerks, muscle spasms, muscle tension (not sure if it's technically spasticity), fatigue, weakness, mild visual-spatial symptoms, and "pins and needles" in my feet. I've also had issues recently that seem like low blood sugar and/or BP dropping and I'm not sure how that's related to the rest.
Just found out Friday that my brain and cervical spine MRI both show NO active lesions (at least, acc. to the radiologist's report.) This is not what the NP at the MS center and I were expecting at all! She was thinking c-spine lesions, moving to Ty or G, etc.
I have a follow-up appt scheduled for next Tuesday (75 miles away). But I'm curious; has anyone else had a time they had new MS-like symptoms but the MRI showed no active lesions? If so, what was the followup like? Did they test you for other stuff (I'm wondering about a B12 deficiency)? Did they turn you over to a PCP? I don't want to drive all the way up there only to be told, "Well, I guess it's not MS causing your symptoms; go see a primary care doctor." (I do have an appt with one scheduled for 10/28 to be established as a new patient.)
I'm really not sure what to make of my MRI results in light of all the new symptoms and getting answers from my MS center over the phone tends to be tough. :P
