So, I saw a neurologist at an MS center in Pittsburgh and he says not MS. Yay!!! I was left with more questions than answers though. He didn't do full exam and I had to undress to my undies??? He says my brain and spinal lesions are abnormal and my exam was abnormal. I had a page and a half of symptoms and he didn't want to see it. I was 20 minutes late due to detours from all the flooding on our 4 hour journey and he wasn't happy. I tried calling to let them know but was on hold for over 10 minutes!!
After I explained about flooding, he started easing up and joking a bit. He ordered blood work for blood clot disorders?? He wrote on copy that based on lesionsnot in MS pattern and spinal fluid was fine, it is not MS. He wrote most like Ischemic. My exam showed ataxia (could barely walk), hyper reflexes, and weakness. He said for Disability purposes I should see aConitive specialist who can prove I cannot work any job. I am just entirely confused now. Any thoughts on where I should go or do now?? I might just give up on finding answers. So exhausting and I don't think i have any extra energy for more. 😥
