Im a 24 year old female who started suffering with migraine over 4 years ago. This past year I have been loosing the feelings in my legs & Arms, getting an ache in my jaw and blurry vision.This sometimes also comes with pains all over my body. Sometimes this can last for a month or 2 then it goes away and i think its over but months later it comes back and i get more strange symptoms. My Doctor sent me for a mri and mra scan which showed I had white spots but the nero doc says that this is nothing to worry about I dont have ms just migraine.I dont even get a headache most of time but I get all the other symptoms of a migraine. Does anyone no what this could be im desparate its taking over my life i even lost my job 3 months ago cause they said at this time in my life its not right for me.

Get a second opinion from another neurologist, a good one.

So the neuro that you saw, did he/she give an explanation as to all these symptoms that come and go? Were any other tests done? Like an EMG? Blood work? Were any other disease ruled out?

You are your own best advocate...it's your health, let them know this.

My wife is having similar problems. She is going through a list of test to exclude "other than MS items". MS isn't clinically determine but as other things are rulled out the list narrows. There are vision test, blood test and additioanl MRI results that could help. Seek an MS specialist, the earlier you know the better chance you have at a higher quality of life.

White spots and Lyme

Having suffered for ten years from many of the symptoms you described and having been given a clean bill of health from every specialist in the area I can tell you I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease. Just three weeks on heavy vitamins and I am feeling a bit of relief. I suggest you find a Lyme Literate Doctor and are tested. Check the IALDS database for one in your area. I live in Boston and had to travel to NY to see one. Make sure you find one that treats to the symptoms not to the blood. A LLD doctor will know what that means.

Facebook has a great community that totally explains Lyme symptoms. Worth checking out. Good luck. Believe what you feel, if you feel sick you are right.
