Hi... A new subscriber as of today. Very new to all this and not sure how to take the news I have been given as well.



Had multiple testing done. Mri on brain shows deymlination desease.. (sp) sorry for the spelling. Spinal cord c5 shows l'hermittes syndrome. Two neurologists and the surgeon who performed neck surgery 7/03 all have referred to ms or considered it a primary diagnosis pending testing.. Many tests fell along the ms lines yet the spinal did not at this time.


Have lost strength in arm and legs left side primary..Left leg mostly feels not strong enough to support me and have lost balance on that leg recently. Tend to have a defined limp when walking and cannot stand solo for any period of time longer than a few minutes... Vision is horrid. Hard to focus on much ... And speach tends to slur or diff to find word at times. Also feel memory is not as sharp. Normally sharp as a tack they would say. Also have fatigue where I would be normally quite active. Hard to explain why. Also noted mood swings.. For no real reason to trigger them... Basically confused with it all.



Recent spinal tap did not confirm diagnosis. Is it possible for the spinal tap not to confirm ms if symptoms appear calm at that time? Just concerned from what docs say without saying ... And wondering the next steps.



Thank you...
