RE: Does MS need to be ruled out as a possible diagnosis?

[Guest guest]

Yes, I feel it is important to rule out MS. In my case, I was having

not only the pain and fatigue, but after I had my baby, I started

having scary spells where it was almost like I would pass out, but

not lose conciousness..all the sudden I'd get this heavy feeling and

I just had to sit down. Found out I had anemia even though I had not

been anemic ever before. But since a lot of symptoms are similar,

its good to have it ruled out. She should have a full blood work up

and thyroid too. Thats my opinion.

Dear

You asked if it was important to get a brain MRI. I can only speak from my

own experience.

I had severe panick attacks and they thought it might be epilipsy... An MRI

was done and showed absolutely nothing. It had no bad side effects if that

is what you are thinking. But unless she herself feels that this is needed

I would not subject myself to the radio active stuff they inject in order to

follow it to the brain. just MHO

Does MS need to be ruled out as a possible

Hi ,

If an MRI will give you and your wife peace of mind, please do it.

I've had several of my brain, all with clear results. Make sure that

they do a complete scan-- a MRI and venous/arterial studies. Then

you won't have to go back and have it done again. And get copies of

the films (they might cost you a few dollars, but worth it). You

might have other doctors that will want to look at them. If you have

your own copies, you won't have to worry about requesting last minute

ones to be sent to whichever office. Also, there's no risk of

them " getting lost " in transit.

Best wishes and keep us posted.

What would make you think she has MS? I do not think that MS comes with

a lot of pain. I have talked to literally hundreds of people that do

have MS (I was diagnosed with MS in 1999, but have been told since that

I do not have it), some mentioned some pain, but nothing major. If your

wife is having symptoms such as numbness & tingling especially in her

hands and feet, vision problems, speech problems, gait problems, then

yes, she should definitely have an MRI. (I've had about 10 - 11 of

them!)

relief. Is it important for her to have a brain MRI to rule out MS?

'I don't know how important it is but I was given a MRI to rule out MS (since

my sister has it) and other things that I can't remember now.

I wonder if I might need to have that checked....as these last 3

years I have experienced those symptoms more & more. Is MS genetic?

My fibro, RA, & OA have come on from a severe neck injury in 1998;

now I wonder if its more.

It probably would be a good idea to have it checked. They say that MS

isn't genetic, but I'm not so sure about that. Six people on my

father's side of the family had/has MS. And I've talked to others

(MS'ers) that say they have a relative that also has MS.

You're welcome.
