Does Uhthoff's Phenomenon presume MS?
Posted: Thu Feb 28, 2013 9:59 pm
Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance for your time.
I am experiencing Uhthoff's Phenomenon (a bit of optic neuritis, tremors, and fatigue out of the shower) and other clear cut MS symptoms (numbness, cognition, slurred words). I am also fully in limbo-land in terms of a diagnosis (clean MRI of the spine and brain on a 3T machine including contrast).
I found an MS specialist I should be able to see, although it will probably take some time to get an appointment.
Are there conditions that would cause Uhthoff's Phenomenon other than MS? I am trying to understand how specific to MS this symptom is.
Thanks so much
