Re: While I wait....
Sorry I can't answer your question about diagnosis. I can only share in your misery because I too am waiting on a diagnosis. I had an MRI, EEG, lots of blood work, neurological workup... Like you I feel like my brain is as full as a non-doc can get on this stuff. Especially with the brain cloud of p...

Re: no more-there's nothing left
I'm so glad you have a supportive spouse. I do as well.

Re: What do you think?

B-complex with Vitamin C, B12=12 mcg One a day 50+, B12=25 mcg, Magnesium=110mg, Zinc=24mg, Calcium=120mg, D3=700IU Calcium Magnesium Zinc with Vitamin ...

ThisIsNotMS ThisMightBeMS
I feel a little guilty for being on this board and not having an MS diagnosis. I also feel like I might be strangely sad if I get some other diagnosis and I have to go in search of another group of people who share whatever malady I do have if it is not MS. My medical record at the neurologist says ...

Re: What do you think?
Haha! Thanks again. I think I need to add the +complaining to all of my searches. This morning my chief complaint to my wife was that the front half of my right foot is dead and it feels like I'm walking on a wooden foot.

Re: What do you think?
Thanks again for your advice. I will study it. my B12 was 292 pg/mL before I started taking supplements. It is in range, but I'm shooting for 400 pg/mL. You're right it is a lot to think about. I overdid it today and I'm really paying for it right now. It is hard to think. The problem is that I'm 6'...

Re: What do you think?
My PCP Doc told me to take the prescription and add the OTC as well. The same doctor also told me to take a multivitamin (Centrum 50+) and a B complex. A different doc told me to add the Calcium and Magnesium OTC. I take everything together. It is all pills. So far, the neuro hasn't told me to take ...

Re: What do you think?
He is supposed to review the tests Monday and then probably schedule my next visit Wednesday. This has been going on for so many years and diagnosed as such things as unexpressed shingles, etc. This last time has been very hard. This waiting is building up as bad as the chronic pain. I have looked a...

Re: Suicide
I'm scared to go to bed at night. I don't know if I can take another night of it. You can think all kinds of crazy stuff laying there in pain at night. I'm not going to risk a botched attempt to end it. That would be even worse.

What do you think?
What do you think of this MRI pic? I can't seem to find anything like it on the Internet. I had an EEG and MRI last week and I'm waiting on my neurologist to read them and schedule another appointment. I had many blood tests. The only thing they found was D was a little low. Doc said that wasn't the...
