I finally saw an MS specialist yesterday and left even more confused. All my tests up to this point are coming up clean except for MS.
I was at a rheumatologist and he did 10 vials of blood that came back normal except for my sed rate which he said points to inflammation that could be caused by my neurologic problems. And that all my symptoms point to MS as discussed.
So far my neurologist, my GP, and the rheumatologist have said MS.
Yesterday the specialist at first was against the idea of MS because the LP was clean, but he hadn't looked at the MRI that was done. As we were waiting for those to be uploaded to him I told him what they found. 1 lesion that showed "the linear configuration was worrisome for a demylenating disease." Plus all my symptoms, burning, tingling, numbness, in my hands, feet, chin, face, legs. I did not get a chance to tell him about the dysphagia or the cognitive issues. Then he got the MRI and said yup that is definitely suspicious of MS.
So he said that I probably have a "touch" of MS and that it is to early to start treatment, so he just wants to watch this for now. He did his exam and I failed the Romberg test both eyes open and closed, the tandem gait. He order another MRI, and a nerve conductor test. can a person have just a touch of MS?
