Neuro checked my ears. Said everything looked good there. I still try to blame everything on perimenopause as my hormones are really RAGING with me right now. That and dealing with three teenage...
open forum instead of closed. I liked it so very much better. Not as claustrophobic feeling to it. Two tests had to be repeated because I was having spasms during the test and kept jerking....
Like Uppity said, read your employee handbook very carefully. If your employer meets the guidelines for you to qualify to use FMLA, then you are entitled to up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave provided...
Glad to hear from you! I wish you much luck on your appointment on Monday. Thanks for the insight on the EMG. Wow! Three of them??? Were they informative for the doctor? So far he hasn't mentioned a...
Thanks for the responses, Uppity and Kimmerz. It is very much appreciated!!! I think I will like the open one much better!!...
I don't have a diagnosis yet. I have been experiencing tingling in hands and feet, only once I experienced the shock feeling from bending my chin down to my neck, memory loss, tightness around my...
open MRI. Is an [b] open MRI as informative as a closed MRI? I had one area show up on the brain in the closed MRI. I have never had one of the spine. The nurse said he uses this facility because he...
Got my blood test results. Everything was fine there...no lupus, lyme's disease, sexually transmitted (my husband was very excited about this one..hehehehe) B12 looked good. Thyroid looked good. Next...

I walked on my toes, on my heels, heel to toe. My balance was off on the heel to toe and I stumbled. My reflexes were described by him as very active. He asked me were they always that way (which...
Uppity, I know you are not a doc and can't diagnose but you do an excellent job of providing first hand knowledge so thought I would ask. I should have asked the doctor yesterday but everything kind...
Hopefully, the two weeks will pass quickly. I appreciate all of your support and advice. Have you had an EMG before? I don't think he is using that test to diagnose MS. I know he is doing the...
I went to the neuro yesterday. I think I actually like him better than the specialist I was seeing that dropped from my insurance. He did the standard initial visit criteria. Symptoms, strength...
Thanks to all for the great advice and support. My appt is on Monday so I guess I will get a little more information there and see what happens. I plan on stopping in on the chat on Monday. Hope...
Wow! Just took our 15 year old for a driving lesson. How is that for living on the edge?!?!?! How are you doing healthwise?...
the worse case scenario. In the meantime, thanks for the advice and I am looking forward to chatting with new friends that are going through some of my same symptoms. I think the not knowing is the...
location. Good news...after two follow up MRI's and visits...I am still here. I did not have any clinical symptoms and was reschduled for a visit in two years unless I had any neurological...
