I am a 44 y/o female that used to have a very active lifestyle. I was a police officer for 10 years as well as a student in Martial Arts. All throug my career I had to be in shape. In 2005, I suffered severe headaches and vison disturbances. The symptoms got worse in 2006 when I couldn't move my right leg without guidance from my hands. I ended up retiring early and noticed alot more problems came on. I feel a terrible burning in my legs and my feet feel as though they are ice cold, but to touch them they have a normal temperature. I went to a neurologist (sfter seeing 2 before) and had every test done for MS. My brain MRI report stated "persistant signal abnormalities in the brain stem at the level of the pons." What does this actually mean? I know a 3mm lesion is on my brain, but, a spinal MRI shows nothing else. An opthamologist suspects optic neuritis, but, nothing showed up in the MRI. Is this MS or something else? I suffered a head injury 21 years ago and haven't really been "right" ever since. Sometimes I feel like I am going to pass out. I do have "space out" like symptoms. Is this a seizure? I don't hear anything except back ground noises that sound like it's inside a tin can. What shouls I do? Seek another opinion?? My doc isn't convinced I have MS! I am so confused.
