I had a new series of MRI's done today. Brain, T-spine & C-spine. I've been having increased problems with dizziness, head tilting to one side and leaning when I walk, numbness in my toes and feet, weakness in walking up hill or a day of running errands,a feeling of numbness (like Novocaine produces) on my face on my left side, cognitive problems, confusion, heat and cold sensitivity and the standard tingling low level internal vibration all over.
Some of these are new and come and go through out every day. Dr ordered the MRI's to see what was going on. They showed no new or active lesions! Is this how RRMS can present itself? Do old symptoms get worse and new ones appear without damage showing up on an MRI? I still don't understand what to think of all this. What does it all mean if there isn't anything active? I'll discuss with my Dr after the holiday weekend but thought that some of you may have some personal insight into helping me learn about this before then.
Thanks!
