Hello!
I have been lurking around the message boards for a few weeks as I have been wondering if I do infact have MS.
I went to a neuro who has sent me for bloodwork and an MRI of the brain. Both test were done and I am waiting for results. I am not happy with the dr though...he went on vacation for two weeks which just happened to be after my tests and had no backup dr or nurse to tell me results. I did call the MRI place and had them send me the results of the MRI. The radiologist saw nothing and wrote "overall an unremarkable MRI of the Brain"
Anyways here are some of the symptoms Ive been dealing with....
Tingling/burning in my arms, hands, shoulder, neck, back of head, and ankle.
I had one episode where my entire left side went numb. It was a little scary so I went to the ER...they told me they didnt know the reason for it.
I also had an episode recently where the back of my head was tingling and it moved to the top of my head...it was the strangest feeling and the only way I could describe it was as if my head was freezing and burning at the same time mixed with tingling and the feeling of a million bugs crawling all over my head.
Most of the time the tingling and burning stays in my left shoulder blade and down my left arm. But it does move to my right arm or right ankle.
My right hip has a dull ache. My cheeks on my face burn, I get tingling above my lip.
Most recently the palms of my hands burn.
I sometimes feel stiff in the morning like I cant move.
After having all of these symptoms and seeing the Neuro he had mentioned MS or lupus. I went online to read about both and I seem to match MS quite well. It is a scary thought that I may have it....I do have three small children.
I basically came to this site looking for anyone who feels the same symptoms as me and hoping to get some kind of answers.
I called the Neuro back this morning as he is back from vacation and was told he would get back to me sometime soon.
Thanks to anyone who responds!
