May Have Ms, Please Help! Posted: 01-25-05 20:18pm
I'm a 21 year old college student who
started having symptoms about 4 months
ago. It started with a really bad
headache that took a week to get over,
then the left side of my neck started
hurting and the muscle spasms started
coming. I was totally freaked out
because i've always been a healthy, active
person and all of a sudden I was just
tired and exhausted. Well, with all this
stuff happening my left arm felt as if was
being held tight while I was getting
numbness in my hand. I went to my family
doctor who just wanted to prescribe me
medicine for everything, which didn't
help, then I was sent to a nuerologist who
didn't want to do anything for me because
I had no insurance. I just kinda gave up
after that and the symptoms seemed to
subside but for the past few weeks I had
this burning sensation throughout the left
side of my neck and tingling in my left
arm and foot. I also started getting my
headaches again with muscle twitching. I
don't know whats wrong with me and to top
it off my left eye has this heavy feeling
with twitching. Can somebody please tell
me something.

Hello,
ms is different for different people but
headaches are not usually that closely
associated with initial symptoms. It
sounds neurological for sure, but might
not be ms.
Difficult situation. I wish you well

It Could Be Ms Posted: 01-27-05 22:07pm
Hi, it sounds to me as it could be ms. My
husband had the numbness and still does on
the right side. It started in is pinky
and then went to his whole side. He is
better now that he is taking ms meds. I
would definately get ins. Threw the state
or gov. And go to the neurology doc and
have them do a cat scan and look for scar
tissue which are called leisiens. Hope
all is well and you get the attention you
need.
