Back in 2005 I was having severe neurological sxs (won't list them....too long). At first they thought I had CIDP because my MRI was clear. I had a round of IVIG and sxs cleared.
Eventually sxs came back and MRI showed one lesion. I was given the "possible MS" dx but for two years I never met the criteria for MS. Those two years were a living hell. I couldn't walk without a cane and used a wheelchair a good bit of the time.
Then a dr thought some bloodwork suggested Lyme disease had been present in my system at some time. Was given antibiotics for a month. I didn't immediately get better but I eventually did. No problems since 2007.
Now.....nerve pain in the face, heavy arm, positive Rhomberg, and a positive Babinski sign at my family dr.
I'm in Houston and this heat (weeks of over 100 degrees) is killing me.
Going to a Neurologist today. SIGH.....
Thanks for listening
