Second opinion

Hi everyone,

I was looking up information about MS and found this site. For the last year I have been having tingling sensation on my right shoulder and sometimes my sense of touch seems to numb. sometimes my sense of touch becomes dull, like I have layers of clothes on the area I am touching. Also I am constantly tired and sometimes my body feels so heavy, especially my shoulder, arms and legs that I cant move until I get a massage. I am also havign difficulty with my memory.

I have been to a neurologist and had an MRI done but they didnt find any signs of MS. My doctore thinks it just may be stress but I dont think that is the case.

I want a second opinion but is it worth it if the MRI came up as negative?

Could my symptoms be becasue of other things that you may know of that I should look in to?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,

You mentioned that you had an MRI, but an MRI of what?  Brain MRI's are pretty commonly done to check for MS, but it is possible to have a normal brain MRI and still have MS.  I went undiagnosed for four years because my lesions are on my spinal cord.  My brain MRI showed no lesions, but MRI's of my spine did show damage.
