My MRI results...

And, I am glad to hear you don't have enough to call it MS. Ms blows big time.

However, I would bet FIBROMYALGIA will come up in conversation then. It's another one that leaves people messed up pretty bad too.

I don't know of what markers there might be to clamp that one down hard. I suppose, I will have to research this a bit more now.

But thank God it is not MS.

You need to put styrofoam wall to wall in your house now so that when you are home, you won't seriously damage your noodle bashing it on hard things out of frustration...

Ask about nerve studies, these are not fun to go through but they will tell you
something about what is happening. I have pain and numbness in all those areas
also. There are many nerve diseases that can cause these. Be very thankful it's not your brain. Please Pm me and let me know what you find out, I may have some ideas for you.

sorry for what you have been undergoing through..now that the m.r.i was negative its both good& bad news as you still dont know whats affecting you..i prefer you should have taken the m.r.i of the whole body..have you taken an ECG? try take it& see...

Hello Jill
I am sorry it is so frustrating to wait for these results and to see the doctor. Your symptoms are worrisome to say the least and yes, it will be good for you to be able to finally be treated.
I pray all turns out for the good for you my dear friend.
Hugs and Love xo

It sounds like some sort of peripheral neuropathy. You aren't diabetic, are you? Neuropathy isn't uncommon in diabetic patients.
Or a pinched nerve in your spine?
I am very glad it isn't MS. I have a few MS patients at work and they seem quite uncomfortable.
I will cross my fingers that it is something simple and easy to fix.

Good luck. Sometimes having a normal MRI only means the docs will have to do more tests or find some other answer.

U have alot to be thankful for that the mri turned out good. I hope u soon find what u are looking for.

As frustrating as that is, at least it didn't turn up some nasty degenerative condition that could be seen on a MRI. But I hope they find an answer for you and that it's something that's not too difficult to treat. Uncertainty is no fun either. Good luck!

I'm very relieved to hear your results were normal, Koala ... but I fully understand your frustration at not having an answer to your symptoms. It must be very frightening. My Dad has suffered from numbness in his legs for several years now, and has had to give up playing golf - but his doctors have no answers for him. They say it's some kind of nerve damage - which isn't much help or comfort to him. I hope your doctor is more thorough and knowledgeable, and you are able to get some useful treatment soon!

Oh dear I know what you mean - doesn't matter that the test came back negative, you just want to know what is wrong with you. I went through this last month with horrible back pains I was having, night in the er tons of tests and they sent me home still not knowing anything more than when I went in and still in pain... Went to my doctor next day and same thing. Wasn't until 4 days later a friend stopped over and had another friend with her who happened to be a cyropracter (?spelling). She rubbed her thumb up and down on my spin for a few minutes and the pain of 2 weeks was gone and hasn't returned since - something so simple just a disc slightly out of place she got it back in place and no more pain.

Am hoping your problem will end up being similar wishing you the best dear.
