Hi, I am 36 have been headaches almost daily for 2 yrs, my pcp orderded an mri of the brain 9/06 came back that there are lesions on the brain, said it can occur with migraines but several foci suspicious for demylenating disease, I had several tests run, lymes, lukemia, lupus all neg, had evoked potentails also normal, dr asked if I ever had an MS episode, only thing I can remember is 6 years ago mid way through my pregnancy both hands were numb and painfull at the time the said tendonitis as for the last 8 to 9 months feeling extremly tired, little lightheaded and dizzy sometimes, muscle aches, a feeling of being "worn out' vision probs, 4 weeks ago my vision looked "wavy" (like you see when the sun has been beating down on something for a long period) and could not see anything out of my lower left eye, no pain but lasted for about 15 minutes, scared the daylights out of me, neuro says maybe aura from migraines and also my arms and hands have been numb and my palms have been itchy, I have fallen a couple for no apparent reason too lately, the heat and humidity seems to make it worse, neuro ordered an mri of spine for demylenation, so here I am a year later and no diagnosis, "clinically possible ms" frustrated not knowing whats going on.. also heart rate has been high 106+ do ms pateints have increased heart rates? also my creatinine levels were low and my bun/creat calc was high on my 7/6 blood work? please tell me what you think..
p.s 1st neuro said they didn't think I had it
2nd neuro said clinincally possible,
thanks for taking the time to read this..

It certainly sounds like you have the symptoms, you might want to be evaluated by an academic neurology department at a regional medical center. Repeating the MRI since it has been a year since the last one might be helpful, good luck

When I was diagnoised (sorry can't spell) ha. I had not only the MRI's , but also a lumbar puncture to test my spinal fluid. Have you had this test done? Just a thought...
