This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

jimmylegs and lyndacarol, thank you so much for your input. My B12 was checked before I started taking the b12 supplement. I just started them the other day but have not felt any difference yet. I know that my level was in the normal range but I thought that I would take it just to see what happens....

I was wondering if anybody here has heard of any connection to being anemic (iron only) and having M.S. like symptoms? After reading numerous posts, I now understand how important nutrition is. There is so much helpful info here! I am trying to get more testing but my G.P. office isn't being so coop...

I finally have in my possession my results from my MRI. The neurologist wants to repeat an MRI in 6 months to compare since I am having these neurological symptoms. I am wondering if these findings show any indication of possible MS. He said that he can't say that I do or don't have it at this time....

lyndacarol, I have the opportunity to get an appointment with an allergist that used to be an internist. I heard that he does all sorts of testing for things that other doctors usually don't. Hopefully, he will be the one to help me. I will bring the above information along with me. It's frustrating...

lyndacarol, I just watched the Dr. Oz segment. Thanks for pointing me to that. I always thought that Gluten Sensitive was the same as Celiac's. Interesting to know that it's not. It is also interesting to know that gluten Sensitive doesn't have abdominal symptoms! I am convinced now that I do have G...

lyndacarol, I made an appointment with a rheumatologist for next month. Would that be the kind of doctor that would help me figure out the gluten sensitivity? Do you happen to know if periphial neuropathy and parathesis is a possible side effect of gluten sensitivity? I have been eating gluten every...

Cathy,
Thank You! Good luck with your appointment. It's wonderful that you were able to get in earlier. Please, keep me posted.
Hugs to you!

I found out that the new neurologist that I wanted to see will take almost a half of a year to get in to. Since, it seemed like some of my symptoms were getting worse, I called the nurse for the neurologist that gave me the MRI and told them that I would like to be checked out asap. I started to get...

Cathy (Wondering)
I hope that your MRI went well today and that you get the results soon. I am crossing my fingers that you get some great news! Please, let us know!

lyndacarol, thanks for the info! That Dr. Oz segment was very interesting. I had no idea about gluten's potentially damaging ways. I can't believe the difference in the MRI as well! My Grandmother died from complications with Alzheimers/Dementia. I wonder if knowing this information would have helpe...

Cathy (Wondering), Thanks for writing. Please do keep us posted on your results! Does your neurologist indicate that there could be something else that he is suspecting or is he just trying to figure out if it is MS? Did you have any other tests done? Yes, that feeling that my skin is wet is so odd!...

lyndacarol, Thanks for the great links. They were very interesting reads. It does seem like there is some fatigue crossover. I suffer from a lot of fatigue although my sleep apnea is somewhat controlled. I was not able to use the cpap. I ended up with an oral device that I'm able to tolerate much be...

lyndacarol and euphoniaa Thank so much for taking the time out to write back to me! You both provided such extremely helpful information and knowledge! lyndacarol, I had no idea about all of that information pertaining to B12 deficiency and about Gluten! euphoniaa, you are so right about getting cop...

I was diagnosed with Central Sleep Apnea last fall. I was told that central apneas usually appear in individuals that have had a stroke or heart failure. I have not been diagnosed with either and still wonder if the sleep specialists made a mistake with my diagnosis. I saw a neurologist asking to lo...
