Yeah I definitely want to push for a actual brain mri soon. I actually think my PCP has bee great and the immunologist actually cared too, but the rest just said they didn't know and then moved on like it doesn't matter. I have even had doctors say I should just go see a psychiatrist. I do have a hm...

I think they kind of feel like the MRI of my eye orbit was enough... I on the other hand don't feel the same way... They did a blood test for vitamin b12 in August 2014. The standard range they have is 211-946 and my value was a 352. The only things that have come up "not normal" are some ...

I am a 30 year old female. My biggest issue is these painful "episodes" that come on. Sometimes hurt soo bad I can't even bare weight. Most of the time they come on quick and then a few minutes later its like nothing ever happened. Only a few times has it lasted longer and left me limping ...

I have had a variety of symptoms since June 2014. My PCP has suspected MS but all of my tests have been fine. In January this year when the eye pain started the opthalmalogist right away thought it was optic neuritis. She said there was nothing wrong with my eyes or retinas or anything. But when I w...

Just a quick question... Is it possible to have optic neuritis without the vision loss? I had this awful pain in my right eye whenever I looked down from January 2015 into February 2015. The past few days the pain has started to return... and with the pain so does all my nagging questions... Appreci...

I'm just curious if anyone knows or has had experience with being prescribed medications to help with the diagnostic process? If I take a certain medication and it helps symptoms then can that help doctors rule things our or lead them to answers? I've been to several more specialists and they keep s...

Does anybody know if there is any relationship to high eosinophil levels and high ige levels and MS? My doctor is sending me to an allergist this week, but still not convinced that it is an allergy that has been causing my crazy range of issues and pains over the past year.... Still just looking to ...

I totally understand what you are saying. I really don't like taking meds. I asked my dr for some tramadol about 2 months ago. He gave me a script for 60 and since I have taken maybe only 4.. Same goes with my flexeril.. I only have taken one in the past few weeks..I feel like while I still dont kno...

Hm that's interesting.. Sorry to hear that. But glad you found something that brings some relief. I have been getting this pain in my right eye off and on since January and it only hurts when looking down.. Just seems so random sometimes.. Dr has tried steroids and that has seemed to help when at hi...

Thank you so much for the info. I definitely will keep those options in mind when I go to the store next! I appreciate it.

The magnesium/calcium/zinc/d3 can be taken up to 3xs daily and has 133mg of magnesium, 333mg calcium, 200iu of d3, and 5mg of zinc The past few weeks I have started eating at least one or two of those cutie tangerines a day for vitamin c and drink orange juice... I had the actual stomach virus that ...

I had changed my diet a little and was taking vitamins and had added vitamin b and fish oil with omega 3. Then i got the stomach flu and have fallen off track.. Trying to get back into a healthier pattern again. Nothing new with bloodwork since they ruled out viruses and lyme disease. Waiting to see...

Started as muscle pain but has been feeling more like bone and joint pain lately.. Like my hips, knees, ankles. Its usually quick episodes of pain.. But sometimes like the bones are breaking and i cant even walk and sometimes i just keeps coming and going all day

Of course I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain Scott1 and scdiva81! I really appreciate your answers though. I haven't been diagnosed yet and it has been a confusing journey. I am having all kinds of weird random pains in my legs and sometimes, but not often in my hands. I am just tryin...

I know I have read how unique MS can be for each person... I am asking if people can please explain what their MS pain feels like?

Thank you
