Hi there, Thank you both for posting a reply to my question. I think one of the biggest thing is the uncertainty of not knowing what is wrong. Chris you seem to have a good attitude. It is YOUR body and it sounds like you are making the best out of it. That is awesome. JSHER - I think the uncertainty of the unknown is the most difficult. I think once you get a diagnoses and move past acceptance, you will do just fine (as will I). I have a...

Thanks for the response. I am suppose to work up to 2700 mg per day if needed. Hope I don't require that much.... I am also on Clonazapam only at night though.

I had no symptoms prior to my first issue.  I experienced vertigo that worsened over a three week period.  I was eventually hospitalized as I could not walk unaided.  I was in the hospital for four days and during that time had lots of tests.  I had a spot on an MRI that was diagnosed as a small stroke.  Five weeks later I had more issues, again with the vertigo but also with double...

jsher said... Hi Susan, I am 39 am still waiting for my diagnosis. My spinal tap is on January 8th. Here is my history: No issues EVER. I was a dancer so very much in tune with my body. about a year and 1/2 ago I starting feeling VERY fatigued with occasional heaviness in my legs. I was given a blood test and told nothing was wrong. the heaviness in my legs and extreme fatigue continued and I ignored it. They tested my thyroid and not much...

I have not had any recent x-rays but because I also had breast cancer, I was concerned it may be related to that. 

Hi. I have been tested for Lyme a few times, but it's always neg. I guess you are right about being CERTAIN. I think I am going to go ahead and do the spinal tap. Good luck to yoU!

I am so glad you asked this question - I thought I was the only one to suffer from leg and hip pain with my m.s. I've always had a problem with my right hip and leg. I sort of had to hike my hip to walk but my right leg always dragged or I would hook my toes in nothing and trip. I'm still like that to this day but I need walking aids and a chair for long distances. The pain is so severe at times that it keeps me awake, it's a...

Hello everyone, my name is Brian, and I am a 32 year old male, who was just diagnosed with MS, but i am not sure if the diagnosis is accurate. I was recently in severe benzodizepine withdrawal, which mimics many many symptoms of MS. But almost 3 months away from valium, many symptoms were getting worse, especially cognition. I took myself to an ER because of a sensation in my head, that I can still feel strongly, and I feel contributed to...
