Re: Could this be MS?
And, apparently NOT MS. MRI came back - white spots consistent with aging but no lesions on spine or brain. White spots? What sort of white spots, as FLAIR shows up as white spots on MRIs and indicates lesions. We shall see.... I am really doubting the expertise of that particular neuro. I have an ...

Re: Could this be MS?
The MRI is clear of lesions. I have hyerreflexia, spasticity, and clonus (although not severe.) My leg has begun to twitch now above the knee. She says not MS. Had an EMG last week. Looks great. This is not in my head. She told me she has no idea - suggested a second opinion. This isn't ALS in an al...

Re: Could this be MS?
The update: The foot thing is/was clonus. I have hyperreflexia. And, apparently NOT MS. MRI came back - white spots consistent with aging but no lesions on spine or brain. What in the world? I can't imagine the drop foot or the spasms because I knew nothing about MS. I definitely can't imagine hyper...

Re: Could this be MS?
So, yes, she checked for that, but it was not what it was.
It was almost as though it was induced fasciculations. Is that possible? Is that an MS sign or something else?

Re: Could this be MS?
They called - they want the MRI done Friday morning. Can I ask you guys - is the rush normal? My primary issue is walking. I failed my heel-toe walk this morning. I tripped during the normal walk, all of four feet. When she checked reflexes they were hyper again today and then she did something to t...

Re: Could this be MS?
Had the neuro appointment today with history and workup. She feels this is most likely MS.
MRI is getting ordered with and without contrast.
She will do the blood tests after the MRI results.
Will the MRI give us a clue how severe this is?
And why am I not tired?

Could this be MS?
Female, age 39, and I have drop foot (right side) and a very akward running gait. The gait and drop foot are new to late this summer. I have ZERO pain, no discomfort. I'm stiff when I wake up but, honestly, have been since we got this memory foam mattress. :P Leg n the lower thigh, above the knee, h...
