leg pain and neuro test question...

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody..

I had a VEEP and a BAER test done yesterday.. When I want into the neuro's

office I was fine.. didnt' have any symptoms except my normal mild pain on

the bottom of my feet.

Did the tests (one involved staring at a checkerboard on a compter screen as

the checkerboard moved, other was sounds in one ear at a time)

When I left the neuro's office, my partner noticed I was off balance a

little. By the time we got home, I was stuttering, dizzy, and *really* off

balance. We called the neuro just to inform.. he sent me to the ER for a CT

scan.. (normal.. of course).. all symptoms cleared up before midnight last

night.

Today..my legs hurt .. feels like I overworked the muscles, the bottom of my

feet hurt so much that it's really difficult to walk, and every muscle in my

body is sore.. plus, my vision keeps wigging out on me.. blurry for a while,

then clear... then blurry again...

The leg pain and heaviness is new as of today...

do you think the neuro tests could have encouraged a flare up? I'm prety

conviced that the tests caused my symptoms yesterday.. it's was too

immediate to be anything else.. but what about today.. possible??

I'm not officially DX'd with MS yet.. the dr's are in the process of trying

to figure it out, but I had an dx of " most likely MS " 6 or 7 years ago...

Thanks,

Yvette

Hi Yvette,

The stress of your exam probably triggered your symptoms. That's why

it's so important for MSers to avoid stress.

That's what I figured, Dudley. I just needed confirmation that's what

happened.. because of course, the neuro denies these simple tests could have

caused symptoms. All I was doing was looking at a moving computer

screen.......

Thanks,

Yvette
