Hi all! Thank you for this forum! I have had menieres type symptoms for two years and am being treated as a menieres patient. The meds they give me don't work so I rarely take them unless I'm desperate and having a very dizzy day. Yesterday I woke up with ataxia. Couldn't (and still can't walk properly), weakness, speech difficulty and problems doing normal things like texting. The neurologist gave me a new diuretic to take for the constant pressure on my ears. Still have the ear pressure but my blood pressure went from 114/74 yesterday to 100/54 today.
I am having an MRI tomorrow morning. I was given as list of symptoms of ms...I have many of them: bladder problems (especially at night before bed), depression, dizziness & vertigo, fatigue, ataxia, short term memory and concentration problems & weakness. I am a ballerina who works out a lot and don't notice numbness or pain except in my hands when I sleep.
Spasticity is not common for me...I sometimes have horrible, horrible foot and leg cramps but chalk that up to dancing and it has been happening since I was a little girl. I don't notice tremors unless I'm hungry and the only time I have tingling is in my scalp sometimes...it's very weird like someone is moving things under my scalp.
Anyway, is it possible to have ms without all the classic symptoms?? Any what about my ear pain and pressure. Does anyone suffer from that? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many blessings, kimberly
