Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hiya everyone The appointment with the Neurologist went badly, as I was expecting! He's 99% certain that I don't have MS but he's referring me for a "brain scan" just to get the other 1% sure. Apparently I have "unusual neuro symptoms" according to the blood test form thing I had done and I definitely don't have Korsikov Syndrome (what I was diagnosed with when I came out of hospital 5 years ago) and I don't have CJD either as the growth hormone I took wasn't in the sort that caused it. I failed 2 of the tests he did on me... he hammered away at my knees and ankles and there were no reflex symptoms and he ran a key up my feet to test for something or other and I failed that one too! I think I failed the memory... ooh! hold on, there was a 3rd test that I failed! He wanted me to stand with my feet together, arms out in front of me and close my eyes which I couldn't do! I think I failed the memory test too as I had to rely on Steve (the hubby) to remember things for me! I'm not going to give up though, I'm pretty sure that I've got MS based on what I've read online so if I have to I'll turn into a pest! I don't want to but I'm a stubborn lil madam when I want to be so I'm not going to give up until I've got a diagnosis! Thank you all for your support so far!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 MandyYears ago my neurologist said I did not have MS, however, the ENT specialist was sure that I had the beginnings of MS. You can have two and three different opinions.Hugs Love & Prayers ette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
