So close to a 3T!
Published (2009-11-09 18:51:00)
Even though my 3T MRI was on a machine with not-so-great software, the difference of the images between that and the images done on a 1.5T the year before are pretty impressive.  Definitely mercedes vs VW... I'm glad that the 1.5 software is getting better.

Debs,   Depression is a real part of the disease. It is like a pain and filter I see the world through when it affects me. It makes everyone feel isolated. People say what are you depressed about. I do not get that question. For me the depression comes first. In my experience fighting it takes more energy. It is like body surfing. A big wave drags you under. If you try to come up right a way you get knocked down by the next...

I am also very sorry to hear about you diagnosis.  It is good to finally find out what is wrong, but not good when you hear the doctor say it out loud if that makes sense.  This is a tough diagnosis to get but you are a tough lady and once things have settled in a bit, get the bull by the horns to keep this under control especially the pain.

WAF--are you thinking of primary lateral sclerosis, or PLS? That's the "slow form" of ALS, one that can take about 3-5 years to get diagnosed, but like ALS, it's a motor neuron disease, with no sensory loss associated with it. (It is true that very rarely, someone with ALS survives for decades; Stephen Hawking is a clear example, but the disability score is still dramatic within a few years)....

I hope they can find a general solution - you've worked so hard on those pages and there is much to be learned from them. Can they at least push pin the outline so it stays on top. It could have different properties than the rest of the pages... Thank you Doc Q

For the type of tremors I had, head tremors, the atenolol wasn't helpful. That doesn't mean it won't work for you, though. Head tremors are hard to treat. My head tremors went away, but I'll get them back from time to time when I'm physically or emotionally stressed. In regards to health insurance, can you get insured through COBRA? If you MS, my guess is that it's best ...

Hi and welcome to the forum! I will say that nothing you have said suggests MS as the cause of your paresthesias. The reason for this is that you describe the wide variety of sensations occurring all throughout your body. Because MS attacks just some areas of nerves at any given time, the symptoms in MS are felt here and there, but not all over. But, you have given some ...

Quix, if you really want to make your hair fall out, go check out what the "MDs" at the Mercola site are spouting. Especially look at their egregious "Fact Sheet" that they're urging people to post in their communities. And just for the record, regarding GBS, several studies have found NO LINK at all between GBS and flu shots, while two found a 1 in a million chance. That's far...

Hi Ozzy Please read the Health Pages on the first page "Can you diagnose MS with a LP that is negative for O-Bands." Near the end it explains about the bands being in both the serum and the CSF. It would be a negative result. The bands have to appear in the CSF and the same ones not appear in the serum to be indicative of MS. Your Neuro is right from what I gather from...
