Question About Mri And Timeline of Demyelination Posted: 04-01-04 23:46pm
The more I read about ms, the more I think
this may be the root cause of my problems.
I fit the demographic and my symptoms
really fit. Doctors have been diagnosing
as "atypical migraine" but, to me, that
seems unlikely as some of the symptoms do
not dissipate as would be expected with
migraine (ie: left-sided weakness,
particularly in the leg and arm and
soreness in my left leg). I see a really
good neurologist on monday so we'll see if
he thinks it's ms.
My question is this: four years ago I had
an mri because I was suffering classic
migraines with neurosymptoms and we have a
family history of aneurysm. Would my mri
back then have shown anything because it
didn't? I have been battling episodes of
syptoms (headache, eye pain, weakness,
numbness/tinging of extremities,
dizziness/gait problems, nausea....) for
nearly a year now. It comes on the tail
end of viral illness and times of sleep
deprivation or stress.
Also, I recently had some type of
gastroenteritis. 2 cbcs were doen two
days apart, both showing my white cell
count at about 2500. Is that something
one would expect from ms?
Tia!

Timeline/ms Posted: 04-02-04 01:32am
I am not exactly sure about a timeline.
But I have had symptoms as far back as 30
years and I was dx in 2000. Autoimmune
diesease mimic one another. There is a
blood test out there to dx ms. Ask your
neuro when you see them, if they know
about it. It is fairly new. Good luck.
