I recently had a mri of the brain that had
an abnormality. I asked the doctor was
there a tumor. He said no tumor or tia.
He wanted to do two test something with
the eyes. Which I already had done. It
came back normal and a spinal tap that has
yet to be done. It will be done as soon
as my doctor is well enough. I've had my
symptoms for 2 months and I guess its okay
to wait because ms is a chronic disease.
I'm just nervous knowing I have an
abnormality and my doctor didn't say it
looked like ms without a doubt. He's
putting me on hold so I guess that good.

Hi chrisj,
I saw your post and my heart
goes out to you. Did you ever hear that
doctor's make the worst patients? Like
you are going to sit around and twiddle
your thumbs. I know how it is to wait for
a diagnosis. I sometimes feel like
telling my Dr.-let's change places and
i'll tell you to wait. All I can say is
take a deep breath and try to concentrate
on other things. I clean a lot. It is
almost xmas so maybe at night you can
drive around and look at all the
decorations, go out to eat, call a friend
or whatever. I know worrying and not
knowing is terrible but hang in there.
Will pray for you and hope everything goes
well for you.

Chris,
it is hard not knowing what the
diagnosis is. If it was anything
suspicious the doctor would have admitted
you. I was diagnoses in 2000. The first
diagnosis was a possible brain
anyorism(sp). Ms is not a death
sentence. Why don't you go get a second
opinion. It would not hurt. Good luck.

Hi there! I totally agree with san54, ms
is not a death sentense, my Dr. Thought I
had ms also and he still feels as though I
might have it as I have all the symptoms,
ms is hard to diagnose as it rests so
much, as the other sandy says, as I am a
sandy too, do get another diagnosis as
there are so many other syndromes that is
almost the same as ms, don't give into
this stuff, keep on functioning as much as
you possibly can without over-doing it.
Keep us posted.
The best to you!
Sincerely,
sandy
