The Doctor has mailed my results so I don't have an exact number. But the office told me I was not deficient in Vitamins B or D. Looked at low thyroid- does not really line up with everything I am experiencing. And the odd thing is a year ago they told me it was barely elevated now they are saying i...

Heard from Neuro- my thyroid is a little low, and my b12 and vit D are normal, I am not deficient. Would a hardly low thyroid cause numbness, knee buckling and spasticity?

Update: Had an eeg test yesterday. Everything, as far as I know went fine until the flashing lights. When it got really bright and sped up my left leg started getting stiff and jerking. When the test was over my left knee kept buckling under me and my legs felt weak, rubbery, and shaky. Then later a...

Oh, I'm sorry, he did order the tests, I just haven't gotten the result yet. I know Doctor's don't know everything, believe me!!

I did request those tests as well as the Vitamin B deficiency tests, and I am still waiting to hear back. Although, the Neuro spent no time whatsoever talking to me about a vitamin defiency just about Lupus or some other unnamed disease. Then he said if nothing showed up on the mri he would start tr...

Thank u, I appreciate it. It's just scary not being able to walk because I can't feel my legs and legs and arms are burning so bad. I'm scared because now the Doctor's are questioning what they have told me for years, re: lupus diagnosis. But I feel far from "normal". Thank u for your advi...

He said none of those things should cause what I am experiencing, unless Lupus is in my brain, cns. But I recently had my first normal ana come back so now my new rheumy is questioning what has already been a confirmed diagnosis. So if it is Lupus, my understanding is that would be the most severe f...

Hey, had a recent Neurology exam for first time and I didn't do so well. The night before both my legs went numb and I couldn't walk. That morning I kept having my knees buckle and felt like I had "sea legs". Anyway, I had upper Right hyper reflex, and right sided hemiparesis. I also had t...

Update: Got a neurology appointment for tomorrow, no idea how I got one so quick, but does anyone have any advice before I go to my first appointment? I would really appreciate any advice

Thank you, I really appreciate your time. I know about the vit D as a lupie, so thank u! I learned to be my own advocate when trying to get Lupus diagnosis so I try to always get med records, believe me, I know I need those, lol!! As with Lupus, MS symptoms can be all over the map. I just had an Aun...

Hey everyone! I can really use some guidance/advice here. I was diagnosed with Lupus years ago, I'm 33, and since I was about 11 my ana has been 1:1280. Recently it dropped to 320 and then suddenly came back normal for first time ever. I have been with out medical care due to no insurance but recent...
