My daughter-in-law has had several
episodes of the following:
starts with tingling in her fingers.
She becomes unbalanced and unable to walk
without assistance
her speech becomes very slured and she has
a hard time expressing herself.
She will sleep for hours on end
doesn't want to eat or drink we have to
take her to get iv's
she has no control over her motor
functions
she is only 25 years old.
We have had mri's eeg blood test of every
kind. We live in a small rural area
though we have taken her to a large
medical center in asheville nc. All the
test show nothing abnormal yet this has
happened repeatedly about every six
months. The consenses of the doctors is
that it is in her head. Please help if
you have any idea what this maybe.
We are at our wits end we don't believe it
is pyscological.

Kathy I believe it is multiple sclerosis.
Did you ask your doctor if he thought
that what it was? Multiple sclerosis
doctor are not quick to say we have it
when we do because they dont want to put
there time into finding out what is wrong
with us. We need to put our foot down
and say look I need to know what is wrong
with me now. Dont leave his office until
you do. That the only way your going to
get what you need. So think bold and
dont take no for and answer. Let me know
whats up your friend joan

That scares the daylights out of me! I'm
only 23, and to think what that poor women
goes through everyday makes me feel so
sad. I have m.S., and it's a neurological
disease, the symptoms are different for
everyone.
