Re: Possible MS? 'lhermittes' + blind spots
I have been to en eye doc who couldnt see a cause to my problems - he didnt perform any actual tests though besides blowing in the eye and taking some pictures (which I have learned would not be able to diagnose OP, if it was present). Either way - it is not an 'eye' problem, my eyes themselves are...

Re: Should I start medication?
Several medications are now approved by the FDA for CIS: Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, Extavia, Glatopa
These were my options when I carried the CIS diagnosis

Re: Diagnosed with CIS
Listen to your neuro, pick a MS diet you are comfortable with and follow it, go gluten free, exercise regularly, remove all stresses from your life, get plenty of sleep and take supplements you feel might be beneficial (especially consider D3, B's, and fish oil to to start with). What is a MS diet?...

Diagnosed with CIS
Hey everyone. I've been hanging out over at the Undiagnosed board, but was diagnosed with CIS yesterday. I'm still in the diagnostic process of actual RRMS, so time and tests will tell if that is the case. I have repeat brain and c-spine MRIs next week and rounding out with an LP at the end of May. ...

Re: What now?
does bending your neck upwards or to the side trigger the buzzing as well? do you have any other symptoms apart from the feet buzzing? i had the feet buzzing , together with a cluster of other sensory symptoms. Seems like i had it worse than you, yet my MRIs of brain and spine were clinically unrem...

Re: What now?
Had neuro appointment last week. Orginally said to just forget about the brain lesion, it is likely due to age. I do have a pinched nerved in my back on the right side. My symptoms are mostly on the left with the occasional migration to the right foot. Neuro was a little concerned/confused with that...

Re: What now?
Yes, Vit D level was 29.3, reference for my lab is 30-100.
This was also nearly a year ago, during the winter, so less sun exposure. I've since been taking a supplement. I will have it rechecked at my yearly.

Re: What now?
I'm feeling pretty sad, anxious and helpless right now....I had the EMG which came back abnormal, so I was kind of glad. It showed I had some radiculopathy is my lumbar spine, so an MRI was ordered. The neuro also ordered a brain and c-spine MRI since the shocking sensation is reproduced by flexing ...

Re: What now?
Welp, I'm back again. My GP sent me to a neuro. I had the initial appointment last week. I was little less than impressed so far, but I'll deal for now. So I explained my symptoms, she asked a lot of questions then did a very brief neurological exam. Basically peripheral vision, the nose touching th...

Re: What now?
I had the blood drawn on the morning of 11/3. I took my multivitamin on the evening of 11/1, skipped 11/2. I was under the impression that b12 is water soluable and the body takes what it needs then eliminates the rest. My pee is always bright yellow when I take the multivitamin. I assumed that was ...

What now?
Hi, I don't usually do this, but I'm feeling every emotion possible. It started a few weeks ago. I was at the gym and on the treadmill, I kept feeling a "buzz" in my feet. I didn't think much of it. It happened again on a walk and here and there. A few weeks later, I was at work and felt t...
