This is about my husband. Hes 49 never really had health problems. about 3 weeks ago went for an MRI it came back possible Chiari<< spelling sorry. So the Dr today told him there was no way his symptoms are related to the herniated brain tonsil he was probably born with and only on 1 side. He told him he thought either MS or Parkinson's. His symptoms are Losses balance, trips over things, Blurry vision sometimes, hand and arms going numb, dizziness, and now we've added a new symptom I just learned of he says he has trouble swallowing liquid its been going on for about 2 months he says its like he forgets how to swallow. Towards the evening he almost lethargic, like hes drugged but hes not. I don't even know him anymore. Hes was also low in Vitamin D when he had labs done. Now he is having to go for another MRI to its called and MR Cervical Spine W/O contrast..
Him loosing balance to me is severe its all the time hes a big guy I don't know how I would get him off the floor.
We aren't really getting answers from the Doctors and its been gradually getting worse. Any input or thought would be greatly appreciated.
