Hi All,

I have been ill since 2007. I have had a battery of tests and onto my second load since they were first done in 2007.

My GP does not know what it is,my neurologist was helpful till the brain and spine mri came back clear except bulging disks in C2,L4/5 S1 but not enough narrowing to cause problems.He redid the MRI again and i get the results on wed as i had vertigo for 2 mths in jan 2009.

I have a new symptom now which has been here for 2 mths and its a numb patch on my hip/buttock the size of a dinner plate it started the size of my thumb, i cant feel anything there and its numb all the time but around the edge of the numb patch the skin is so hypersensitive it hurts to touch and lay on it. I doubt he will do a lumber MRI it was like pulling teeth to redo the last 2.

He does not feel it is MS due to no lesions but what is causing this numbness plus the blurred vision, weakness in legs,arms and shoulders i am registered disabled and noone can give me an answer other then i have a pain condition but does pain cause numbness i dont think so!!

Help?? i have 3 young kids and just want my old life back where i was working jogging taking the kids out now i am at times house or bed bound and have to use sticks and a wheelchair to get around.
