maybe ms?

hi everyone,
ill try to make this short, but i have so many unanswered questions.here it goes. the past 4 years i have "episodes" which have led to many doc appts. the most recent was slight bells palsey with continued drooping eybrow.had mri - mra -  mri w contrast - mri of spine -and spect. spect results have not been recieved yet.

mri---
     single focus of increased periventricular white matter signal in the left frontal region. as solitary finding signifigance is questionable.
     early demyelinating process should be considered given the patients age ( 45 )
     small vessel ischemic disease also possible
     clinical corrolation advised

mri w contrast-----
probable venous angioma in the pons on the right
  small areas of high signal in white matter of the cerebral hemispheres and in the pons on the t2 and flair type images in a non specific distribution

i also have tingling in left arm, fatigue and leg weakness, headaches and periodic blurred vision.
does this sound like ms symptoms and test results. i have lots more test scheduled before my doc will tell me anything. i work so i acan only schedule test 1 day a week. this is taking forever and i really dont feel well at all
thanks so much for taking the time to read all this

thank you both so much for responding. i will definitly be reading further on this site. my comprehension isnt the best these days but so far it looks really helpful.

my neuro said she wont dx anything until all the test results are in.but some of the test i cant get scheduled until novermber. i wish there was a way to make this process faster. i really dont seem to have many good days anymore
again thank you both so much! i wish you the best

Hi Lilsa,

I'm so sorry you are not feeling well. You sure do have a lot going on right now, and having to wait makes it worse.  You want to feel well - you want the Dr. to tell you what is going on and come up w/a plan, but it's seemingly taking forever.  It's so frustrating.

But, you've come to the right place while you wait and work your way through the tests.  I'm glad to hear they are lined up.  If you have the time, please peek in at our health pages (upper right hand corner).  They are packed with specific information about MS.  How MRIs show lesions, etc.

In the meantime, please know our members are so very versed in a variety of topics.  You can ask anything.  I'm sure they will come in and share their thoughts with you about what information you've received so far.

Be careful and know your limits right now since you are feeling so badly.  And, know we are here for you now.
ttys,
Shell
