I wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone has insight into cranial nerve involvement and MS.
Does anyone else have multiple cranial nerve problems? From tests, I have problems with cranial nerves V, VII, IX, X, XI, and XII. All kinds of problems with left side of my tongue and face, everything from no taste on one side, deviation of tongue, articulation problems, numbness and no movement in parts of my face, atrophy of SCM and trapezius, and hoarseness. Different cranial nerves are involved in each of those problems.
My quandry is I don't have a brainstem lesion...at least that shows up on MRI, and just wondered if anyone else has multiple cranial nerve involvement w/out brainstem involvement.
My neuro has noted the problems (which have been ongoing for 15 years but definitely getting worse in the last year or two) and we just ran a new MRI to see if something showed up (nada in the brainstem.)
Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this subject?
