CAN THIS BE MS......38/f
In 2007 I was almost knocked down by what felt like a sudden electric shock to my body shortly after I had perodic headaches, dizziness, weakness, vision problems, and fatigue. Around 2010 the symptoms became a daily occurrence untill I had to take time off from work, the symtoms lasted steady for about 8 months and started having pressure in ears, jaw pain, tremors, foggy brain, pins and needles, can't concentrate, an itchy spot on my back, leg, arm heaviness and weakness, memory problems which have brought on extreme anxiety and of course depression. ECT.....
MRI shows a few scattered nonspecific hyperinsities in the frontal white matter with and without contrast. 2. Few scattered punctate foci of increased T2 signal at the brain. 3. Flair images demonstrate 3 to 4 punctuate T2 signal hyperintensities in the anterior frontal subcortical white matter. with and w/o contrast. I had alot of bloodwork ..normal..EEG..normal...lumbar puncture...normal. i am off work again this has been incredibly debilitating. I am so desperate.

The last MRI was done April 2012. I have a wonderful, caring MD that is trying to get me someone that can give me an answer. I have better days however very rarely a full day without any symptoms at all. I went to a neurololgist who sent me to the Diamond headache clinic, who diagnosed me with daily chronic migraines and cluster headache, while in the hospital for a week they kept me on IV meds for the pain but the unsteadiness never went away, I would have to walk leaned against the wall to get anywhere. Very dissappointed in the trreatment. I am currently trying to see a MS specialist however, since I have been to one neuro. doc I have to write a letter to the person in charge of neuro. here, as I have done a few weeks ago but have not heard anything back yet. I am so frustrated. The predominant explaination for my symptoms seems to be MS when I do research. Thank you for replying.
Was this MRI done in 2010 or more recently?
Obviously these could be neurological symptoms but it's impossible for anyone here to determine how likely they are to be caused by MS.
In my opinion, you need to be under the care of a caring physician who is willing to work with you toward diagnosis - not to mention prescribing a treatment plan that will help you start feeling better.
