My neuro is ruling out MS. brain atrophy found on ct
Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 11:19 am
Hi. I have been having weird neurological symptoms for a few years now. I always figured it was neuropathy because my grandma had that. But recently I saw a neurologists who is going to perform an MRI to check for MS because my CT brain scan had shown that my frontal lobe has atrophy. Does anyone else have atrophy?
I have had severe migraines in the past so the ER has shown differences in my scans over time. I have fatigue most days. I have had these weird episodes of numbness and tingling. I also get these sharp stabby nerve pains in my body and head. Once or twice I thought I was having a stroke and had to call 911 because my left side went numb. My neurologist doesn't really know much of this info. I always forget to follow up when these things happen. I feel that my memory is totalled. I miss a lot of doctor visits.
I'm hoping for some kind of conclusion to all of these physical problems as far as a diagnosis goes as it would be nice to finally have an explanation. Does that make sense?
I'm 35 and female. I have a daughter and I feel like my lack of energy and function has really made things hard for her.
I hope everyone is having a good day today.
