Hello, new here
Hello to everyone. I'm new around here and new to MS. I've been labeled as possible MS by my neurologist. My story started a couple years ago but I didn't really pay much attention then, I would wonder from time to time why I felt so tired and weak but I'd always tell myself I'd go see the doc "next week" but then I'd usually be feeling a bit better. Last summer tho things changed enough that I finally scheduled the appt. Extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, dizziness/vertigo, tingling (mostly my face and right limbs), memory problems, very uncoordinated... My pcp first said it must be migraines, but ordered some bloodwork and a brain mri after a followup appt. Then referred me to the neuro after the mri showed atleast 5-6 white matter lesions. Neuro exam was pretty uneventful as I was feeling better by the time I saw them, was told I have brisk reflexes and babinski reflex. Then came more bloodwork and a c spine mri and lumbar puncture, all was normal, which is good but also frustrating. Now the neuro wants to follow up with another mri in 6 months and referred me back to pcp... Sorry about the vent, just no one around here seems to be able to relate.
