Looking for some answers and opinions.
Long story but I was recently discharged from the military and 10 days prior to getting out I had an appointment with a Neurologist that said I possibly had signs of having early MS but that he just wanted me to have another MRI in a few months.
Now the VA wants me to see a neurologist, so I went to the Base hospital and pulled the actual report from the Neuro guy and he actually diagnosed me with early demyelinating disease, not possible but actual diagnosis without specifically telling me that.
I know that I have 3 or 4 lesions on my brain and an abnormality in my spine that one Dr referred to as a syrinx but another said was different than a traditional syrinx.
All of the tests started because I thought I was having complications from multiple surgeries on my left shoulder. I get complete numbness and pain down my entire arm from my bicep to my finger tips and it acts up on its own, there is no specific trigger to the pain and numbness.
The numbness last for days, and sometimes weeks.
Does this sound familiar to anyone and is there something that it could be besides MS?
