I'm scheduled for another MRI. The neurologist thinks I may have MS. That would explain alot. My daughter has it so I'm not too anxious but really wondering if anyone else here has MS?. How do you balance meds. Any input would be appreciated.
I'm not really in remission with Humira yet. I hate to upset my gut with something new.
I have found several articles about a connection between UC and MS. I guess having UC does increase your changes or MS increases you chances of UC. In 2012 I went to the hospital for weakness in my legs and arms that seemed to come on suddenly. They labeled it a stroke even though I had numerous white spots in my MRI and no other sign of stroke. Said my catscan and MRI was clear. They never even mentioned the spots to me. Now the leg, foot, arm and hand pain is getting worse.
Good thing I took my old MRI with me since my doctor didnt send it with the referral. The neurologist was sure she was sending me on to an arthritis doctor until she viewed the MRI. Frustrating. Not sure who I'm more unhappy with. The hospital certainly didn't follow thru or even get to the right diagnosis. The neurologist said I have never had a stroke. My primary doctor apparently didn't even look at the MRI. I spent a year on a full strength aspirin because of their stroke diagnosis and it certainly wasn't good for my gut. I believe it contributed to the diverticulitis resection. I'm just a little mad.
Anyone else with MS?
