Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hello, ; a positive Babinski response usually is consisiten with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. This means that when the physician runs his thumb or finger up the bottom of your foot, from heel to toe, your toes bend toward YOU; I have this in both feet, and have for decades. Still functioning. The other test is probably done with a tuning fork (usually the Key of C) to detect which areas have loss of sensatation. Usually the chest is pretty good. Often the feet lose sensation first, but the hands can as well, and this also is typical of MS. I think you probably really do have " Multiple Surprises!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yes go to the neuros even if it is hours away. How far is it? Since you trust and respect this doctor then follow his advice.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've been to Duke. It's not that far from me. Just in the next town. Personally, I didn't get the help I needed. But, I had already been dx'd with MS. My brother was very sick at one time and went to Duke to get a dx'd for his disease. They did very well for him. He was dx'd with Polychondritis. He was having a lot of symptoms that mimic MS. After they ruled out several diseases, this is the one that he was dx'd with. Love and blessings...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi , I agree with the others you should definitely make the drive to the neuro your PCP is recommending! The term lateralized means that it is affecting one side more than the other. Right vs. left. (Bi-lateral meaning both) If more symptoms on the right side of your body, maybe you have lesions on the left side of your brain or versa-vica. I don't fully know your history, but have you actually been dx'd w/ MS? What other tests have you been through? The term hyper-reflexia means that your reflexes were extreme, whereas hypo-reflexia means that there is no response. That is what happens to me when my Dr taps on my knees. no response. I have had MS for 13 yrs and it took them 4 yrs to diagnose me. I drove to San Francisco to see an excellent neuro and it was definitely worth it! Good luck HUGS, a > Yes go to the neuros even if it is hours away. How far is it? Since you trust and respect this doctor then follow his advice.

What conditions could cause this? He has now stated that he wants me to go further for diagnosis and treatment..He wants me to see a group of Neurologists at either Duke or Emory, both of which are hours and hours away...He must really think that it is serious... Did any of you have some of these findings as well???Do you think that it is serious enough to warrant a trip to another Neurologists hours away? tiffany charmelle hester Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Wow! That's really neat. I'm going to look the farm up and see how close she is to me. I love horses! Well, I love almost every 4 legged critter. Love and blessings...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I just checked the map to see how far away Ina is from us. She's only a little over 50 miles away. Tom drives almost that much just to work and back. It's not that far.Anne Whitworth wrote: Ina is retired and her 4 rescues are taxing her patience but she loves them Health Update I w! ent and saw my PCP today, I see him every two weeks, since he has me on medical leave..I think he is awesome, and wish that all physicians were as caring and sympathetic as he is...Today he decided to check my reflexes again...He noticed in one of my knees I had hyperreflexia, in the other I believe he said hyporeflexia. .When checking the reflexes of my elbow, he noticed that one hand moved slightly (the thumb did not), and the other one did not.
