asked by: DoctorQuestion on April 29th, 2007
a few years ago i had a mri,it showed a spot on the right side of my brain. my doc sent me to a neurologist to test for ms. he said the test didn't show ms. he said he couldn't test for anything else since my doc didn't order it. i have most of the symptoms which are getting worse. i am tired all the time, i don't have much energy to do anything. i have weekness in my legs,sometimesit feels like they are giving out on me.im afraid of falling down the stairs. sometimes i get dizzy and feel faint. memory loss.blurry vision, sometimes part of my eye sight feels like it is gone. my eyes twitch. i have bladder problems. my body feelslike it had been shocked, the feeling stays almost all the time. my tongue tingles and feels like it is curling up, which effects my speech. i have been having muscle spasms in my stomache along with my body jerking. i also have breathing problems. i can't take the heat like i used too. do these symptoms sound like ms or something else? what do you recommend?

Your symptoms do sound like multiple sclerosis but that has to be proven with medical tests: neurological physical examination, CT-scan (or MRI), laboratory analyses of the cerebrospinal liquor, electro-myography (EMG) and examination by ophthalmologist. You can consult some neurologist and ophthalmologist about your problems.
