This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Hi hunter I am going in for another set of MRI's so i'll see what that shows. Didn't know about migraines and lesions though, so thanks for the info. Only had the lumbar puncture done back in the UK in 1994, this neuro doesnt want to do another one. I think I will ask him to arrange that for me here...

Good morning Hunter I dont have any.... I went to the Dr's about my migraines I had been getting since childhood. He decided to be thorough and send me for an MRI. I was then told I had MS. My neuro said migraines have nothing to do with MS. So I am still not sure what is causing them. So if I hadn'...

Good morning Lewis I was tenatively diagnosed back in the UK when I was 24, all the tests came back inconclusive. Now I have just turned 40, my Dr's here in the US have confirmed I have it. Still waiting for further tests to establish at what stage etc, but so far I have none of the symptoms that ot...

thanks everyone for your comments and sharing your own experiences, it's greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone I got a call from my Dr today, he doesn't want me to wait until the 20th for my blood tests, he wants me to starve myself after 9pm tonight and have it done in the morning. I am so thankful for such a great Dr. He asked me what bloods I wanted to run, so I gave him the list and e-mailed ...

Whatever it is I am keeping everything crossed for you JL.

Hi everyone I got a call this evening from Copaxone, confirming my address etc to send my meds and arrange for a nurse to come out. I must admit, I felt a wave of panic come over me as I am not ready to take this route yet. I want to wait until all the rest of the tests have been done and I have my ...

Thanks JL I will print all of this off and take it with me. My Dr is great he is so very thorough, it makes a nice change, so I am sure he will run every test imaginable. If he hadn't been so thorough with my migraines I wouldnt be here on this site. I read some of your other posts as you always hav...

Karen - thank you I will

Good morning JL Well, I have left a message for my CPT to call me this morning, he is my Dr at the base hospital. I was going to ask him arrange to run, every single thing he can. Vitamins, Minerals, hormone levels, thyroid levels and anything else that I havn't thought of. Did I miss anything? I am...

Good morning everyone I am going to have a full blood panel run to see where the various levels are in my body. Is there a better time to have bloods run ie: morning or afternoon? Will my blood levels show different results in the morning as opposed to the afternoon? On a whole different subject, we...

Jimmylegs, until you mentioned to me CCSVI, I had never heard of this so I just wanted to thank you for providing me with more topics to research and try and understand and allow me to make my own conclusions on the subject without any persuasions either way. Everyone's journey with MS is different ...

Lyon Thank you for you reply. It was certainly a very nice "welcome to our site" message from you. I feel so much better now. Firstly, I am very well aware of what I need to do. But, just because my Dr has an MD after his name, does not mean he is an expert in MS. For me, those with MS are...

Thank you jimmylegs. I am definitely going to get my bloods run and see where I sit first before I make any changes/decisions. I hadn't thought of running bloods, I guess because my neurologist didn't mention it, but it was good advice. I looked at who takes what supplements and what the experts for...

Thank you everyone for your comments. I now have appointments set up to test the muscle function and nerve function in my torso and another round of MRI's but this time it's different, than the standard MRI they did. The first specialist I saw was not at all helpful but this new specialist, I like h...
