MRI of my brain...

Hey Lady, How are you doing? Sorry to hear that you ave MS too, I don't know much about it, hope your case isn't to bad. Take care and God Bless, as always its nice to see you.

Hi! No, my case isn't too bad. It depends on the day. My main thing is memory and fatigue. I have had other symptoms that were bad, but thank God they went away for the most part. I am not on here a lot, but I do miss everyone.

LDN hasn't really*done* anything, BUT I haven't had a relapse in over a year. I had relapses on the other meds. I am going through something that 'might' be MS related, but might not. I do feel better.

Jill I know what you mean as I was diagnosed with my Illness 7 years ago I tried to stay optimistic to and I did till I got the Test results but please try not to worry to much till you know Sweet ok but please let me know and if you ever need an ear just shout

Thanks gabs - I will let you know what I find out... if anything. I want to be optimistic but it is kinda hard at this point. Thanks again. Jill

Good luck and let me know how the MRI goes. I will be thinking of you.

Hi Bytemi - sorry it took me this long to get back to you. I know what you mean about "I was not just lazy"... I feel that way all of the time. Thanks for thinking of me. My MRI has been changed to Thursday, not today. I'll update you after I find out the results. Jill

Thanks so much sunnflr. I really appreciate your concern. I haven't been able to work outside of the home for almost 2 years now and it is really taking its toll on me. I just began a home based business in January but still having trouble getting it off the ground because of my fatigue and leg pains.

Hopefully with treatment you will start to feel better and be able to do your home business.

Oh goodness antiquelady... sorry about all the medical issues you've had too. I'm happy to hear that you are "still kicking"! I will let you know if they discover anything from the MRI. It's scheduled for Monday, I think it's is the 22nd of June, early morning. Maybe I'll sleep through it! Ya right! lol Jill

THANKS JILL, It's hard to keep a good woman down i tell everybody. . i doubrt that u will sleep through the mri. it's so darn noisy don't believe anybody could but it does not hurt in anyway. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN IT'S OVER FOR U & U AT LEAST KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. It is ridiculouus u had to wait this long. GOOD LUCK. Let me hear from you.

Sorry to hear you are going through the same thing heathcliff and that it has been 5 years for you now. It has been just over 2 for me. The MRI of my brain has been changed to Thursday morning so I will let you know what, if anything, they find out as soon as I get the results. Take care, Jill

Thanks for thinking of me angel_of_charm. I will keep everyone updated as to what the results are of the MRI.

Not knowing is definitely the worst part. As you said, once I get a diagnosis then I'll finally be able to get some sort of treatment. Currently, I am just taking a prescription to treat my symptoms of nerve pain. Not sure how much good it is actually doing. I think it makes me more tired than anything.

Hi savypat - Thanks for your thoughts. I hope they find out what is going on soon too. I have had several MRIs in the past for this same problem and I only had difficulty during one of them. My symptoms were really bad at that particular time and I had extreme difficulty staying still during the test. I got very anxious and was crying and just wanted to scream. They almost had to call off the test but I was able to finish it luckily because at that time the thought of repeating it was too much to consider. I didn't want to have to go through it all over again. Jill

Oh my goodness TLChimes - I just passed the 2 year mark and I'm about going out of my mind not knowing. I definitely feel for you and I do hope year 7 is the charm for you. What are your symptoms? Mine started just over two years ago when I awoke and my right foot was slightly numb (like I slept on it wrong). I didn't think much of it and continued with my day. However, it never went away and the next morning the numbness had moved up my leg. It kept progressing and eventually also developed in my other leg too. Weakness, pain, etc etc. I could go on and on but that would take forever. I have also had mild numbness & weakness that comes & goes in my left hand & forearm and some tingling sensations on my lips & left side of my face. When is your appt with the neuropsychologist? Keep me updated as to how you are doing & I will do the same. Maybe we can commiserate together! Jill

Thanks for thinking of me alexandra777. I am glad to hear that your MS is "sleeping" for now. I have my MRI tomorrow morning, bright and early. I will let you know what I find out. I am sure I won't hear any results from my doctor until next week. I hate having to wait over the weekend for test results. :(
