The only thing that "might" be related to your spinal cord would be bladder problems but without testing from a Urologist there is no way to know if your urinary problems are even Neurologically related. Thanks, Snoopy. That is helpful to know. My exam is pretty normal. I have some odd di...

Update: My neurologist (who is an MS Specialist) doesn't want to do an MRI on my spine because he is only looking for a structural cause of my trigeminal neuralgia. This is very frustrating - and feels like he is dismissing any other symptoms I tell him about. If we do the MRI and see no structural ...

Thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions. I will make an appointment with a urologist.. the tricky part is just making sure I can get in when I am experiencing the symptoms. I do suspect I am not able to empty my bladder all the way because I go, and then immediately have to go again. T...

Jimmylegs: I don't drink caffeine - just water (or sparkling water) all day and milk sometimes in my cereal. Now and then I have juice or tea after dinner at home where I can go to the restroom as much as I need. Anything with liquid does this to me. Fruit, soup, cereal, curry.. you get the point. I...

Snoopy: When I first started having these issues I had my urine tested for everything, and the doctor did a few other tests too. I think my thyroid? Everything came up normal. I may seek an appointment with a urologist in the future, but since this comes and goes, I'm not sure that typical solutions...

Hi Everyone, I am currently undiagnosed, pending my second MRI (to satisfy two incidents in space and TIME). One of the symptoms I mentioned to my MS specialist (who rolled his eyes like whatever???) is trouble with my bladder. Sometimes I have to pee again as soon as I leave the bathroom. I feel li...

Thank you again! That is helpful. I will check out the article you cited as well. On another note, I have been experiencing tingling sensations (like a bug crawling on my skin) along one wrist and forearm intermittently this last week. Another one of those only mildly annoying symptoms, that is like...

Thanks. What does it mean when it says "Differential diagnosis includes foci of demyelination?" Does that mean I have that kind of foci or that a diagnosis would require it and it's not certain that I do?

Hi Folks...

If you read this, I am still looking for help understanding what my MRI impression/findings mean. Thank you!

Thanks again for that detailed information.

Anyone have any insight about the MRI Impression or findings?

Thanks for your help. Below I will write the test, then my number, then the "standard range." WBC Differential: There were tons of percentages which weren't flagged. The only thing flagged was the Imm Gran Abs Auto. 0.04x10(9)/L... standard is 0.00-0.03x10(9)/L. I can type the rest out if ...

Hello! Can anyone help me interpret my MRI results? :? Background: I am a 30 year old white female from Pacific Northwest. Last year I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Blood tests confirmed no Lyme Disease. Now following up with MRI to rule out MS. Reviewing symptoms of MS, I have noticed se...
