I guess I'll have to see what I can do about the nutrient testing - none was ordered for me. I know I pm'd you about that multivitamin I was taking, JL, but I had to stop. It was giving me migraines (pretty sure that was the cause, as I don't normally get them, and that day I took all 3 I got a REAL...

I posted on here once before, but I just got the results of my MRI, so I'm updating: I began having symptoms in early February which at first alarmed me, but which I quickly dismissed as being something benign. I was having trouble seeing in a vague sort of way and I had two days of numbness in my e...

Hi shinyredsparkles, What you have sounds like all the standard descriptions of ON I've ever seen. Mine sounds so different that I was wondering if what I have could be ON, or if it's something else the doctors are missing. It was very frustrating to sit there and have the optho say she didn't know ...

That second YouTube video looks like the ocular migraines I've gotten in the past. It grows and obscures the vision in one area but without the rainbow arc. This condition I've had for two months now is not that either. I appreciate all the input. Having something to look into keeps me hoping I'll e...

I appreciate all the responses! I don't think it's the scintillating scotoma because it doesn't move at all in any of the shapes mentioned in the article. Batman - I don't think it's Neuroretinitis either. I don't see wavy lines where they should be straight. Okay, now, jerrygallow, you do have me s...

Hi all, I am still undiagnosed, and thus is my first post here, but my question is vision-related. My visual symptoms are what made me consider the pos...

I did find time to pm yesterday, although after I sent it, I saw some autocorrect errors!

I will pm you, but I probably won't have time until after the weekend is over. Thanks for offering to look over my diet. I appreciate it!

Jimmylegs - all the regular medical stuff is adding up financially right now with copays and coinsurance, so UT may be awhile before I can manage the testing. Is there any benefit to going ahead with a b12 supplement before such a time? I know you've said you felt some of your problems stemmed from ...

Anneke, I sure hope you get some answers soon. Let us know how it goes!

One thing that has always puzzled me with my symptoms is how they come and go from day to day. It's the one thing that doesn't seem very MS-like, but I can see how it might be related to fluctuations in my diet if my system were very sensitive to the lack of one certain vitamin or another. Does anyo...

I finally watched the B12 video. It is very well done and I'm convinced I should pursue that angle. Thank you THX.

Thanks for the links. I've been lurking here for awhile do I had thought about going the online route.

Are there vitamin deficiencies that cause things like heat intolerance? double vision?

I live in the Miami area. I do have contact with a naturopath, but I haven't been evaluated by him yet. I've never liked seeing doctors and this experience has reminded me one of the reasons: they always seem to be in a hurry. I can tell you that I am not the kind of person to force an issue, so I h...

No, jimmylegs. I think it was just the standard ANA, Thyroid, Lyme, Sed Rate, CBC, CRP, C3, C4, etc. I had that done on Friday and still haven't heard anything, even though my PCP said he would definitely call one way or the other. I have a feeling he may not be open to looking at nutrient testing -...
