Are there any other citizens of Limbo Land?

If it's on your mind and it has to do with multiple sclerosis in any way, post it here.

Are there any other citizens of Limbo Land?

Post by jml945 »

I am in Limbo Land, where I have a chronic MS-type illness (with all the classic symptoms, numbness and tingling in the legs, leg spacisity, bluriness in my left eye, fatigue etc) but have not received a diagnosis.

Is there anyone else who is in the same position, or was in Limbo Land before their diagnosis?

One thing that makes me feel a big better is that there are people who are in the same boat as I am. One of my friends from church was in Limbo Land for 13 years. She had the same symptoms as I have, and we would often talk about our problems together. Finally last year she got diagnosed with MS. And while I was really glad she got a diagnosis, I was also a little jealous, not because I WANT to have MS, but because I am pretty sure I have it and just want to know officially... because being in Limbo Land sucks. I desperately want to be in Diagnosed Land.

A neurologist should run a few tests: Brain and cervical MRI, preferably 3Tesla, lumbur puncture, blood tests to make sure no other condition could cause the same symptoms. McDonald Criteria for MS sais you eitehr have 9 lessions and 2 consecutive attacks of different types, or lessions and the olligoclonal bands come positive in the lumbur puncture.
