I have been to five different doctors the past year. I havent gotten any answers from any of them. All that came up in all the testing is 8 bulging and hurniated discs, perminant nerve damage and spots in the brain. I got lymes disease ruled out.

I have no feeling on the outside. I am completely numb from head to toe but i feel pain on the inside. I get really bad shocks and at times it makes me colapse and sometimes even faint. I have fallen around 20 times. I get blurred vision on and off. tingling headaches from the shocks. I sometimes feel like someone is sitting on my chest and rib pain. I have symptoms of MS but the doctor that i went to said he dont think its MS. It is progressing worse.

it has been so frusterating. I am so tired at times. Does anyone have any input?

Hi Courtney,

I'm sorry you find yourself in limbo. That's not a fun place to be! Welcome to the board. I hope we can help.

I read on your other post that "spots" were found on your brain. Spots or lesions are a hallmark of MS. What did your doctor attribute these to?

I know you've been to a lot of doctors, but were any of those doctors MS neurologists? You need to see a specialist. If you do, bring all your medical reports and a copy of your MRI.

You also need to receive treatment for all those herniated discs!!! Those can be causing many of your symptoms.

What testing have you had done?

As Gretchen said, If i were you I would be looking for a Neuro who specializes in MS.
