Im not diagnosed yet but going through the process. Ive been waiting on the NHS for 3 months to see a neuro last week I paid to go private for an initial consultation. the consultant did the usual tests, ie hammer reflexes etc and said I don't have any signs of an neurological involvement and it is highly unlikely that I have ms due to my age im 67. I had a brain scan in 2015 that was clear (it was an unrelated matter) Im still not convinced as my symptoms arnt going away, pins and needles in legs and feet, muscle spasms in legs, weak legs, body jerks when resting, I do have lupus and sjogrens but ive had these for 13 years and basically know the signs of a flare. Im very concerned that due to my age chances are if it is ms it will be PPMS. Could I know your thoughts on this please. Apparently the neuro consultant I saw is well up on MS as well as other neurological disorders. Thanks
Hi Christine. I'm not sure if you've considered Lyme disease but it's going rampant in my area. Just my small city there have been over 100 ppl diagnosed in the last 2 months. All the symptoms u are mentioning are dead on. I have spent about 150 hrs of online research YouTube/google because I was bedridden so long and have experimented on myself because it attacks the body. I went blind in one eye and had cerebral palsy in my left arm and I fixed all 62 symptoms in a week.
I'm not 100% but doing pretty darn good for a late stage LYME candidate.
Cheers
Thanks for your reply rob. I don't think its lyme disease as I haven't been bitten I have heard of it mentioned a lot lately though. Im pleased you are doing well.
Hi Christine fingers crossed that your Neuro doctors correct iv had similar response from mine
Yet I'm felling worse almost daily it's just at a point were I want to know tho cause as its depressing me and I'm afraid il lose my family because I'm not the man I was only to years ago
Keep as positive as you can
Leeroy I know how you feel this takes over my whole being and im also depressed I cant make any plans I may have to move as my house could not be adapted I just keep taking about it all the time and my partner as much he sympathises is getting fed up with hearing about my anxieties. Have you had any MRIs. How old are you
