Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Oh boy Pete, you are starting to sound like a pin cushion or something. I don't know much about MS testing but I'd say that you've had your fair share. It is quite possible that you have something other then MS. I think I agree with the doc that said you've had enough tests. Please be careful with taking too many x-rays. That may just turn out to be the most dangerous part. X-rays are like russian roulette really. Don't think I will be getting any more if at all possible. You might be able to find a doctor willing to give you a prescription for the LDN. It is so completely harmless at this low dose. Something tells me that it might just help you. Just wish I had more words of encouragement for ya. Wondering if you shouldn't try to find a different facility. They will hopefully take a look at all these tests you've already done and make a determination that way? Joyce.

So now were going to do a nerve test where they put needles in my arms and legs and i dont know where else.Is it possible to have all these tests with the mri's the spinal tap neuro exams and so.Is it possible to still have MS with all these tests being negative in the last 4.5 years.I'm just screwed here.I mean I get burning and numbness in my mouth on my tongue in my private areas.Now he wants to check me for Guillian Barre disease.But I read up on that I have the sx's but my reflexs are in working order.In that disease it say's your reflexs are next to nill in responding.Need help here.I'll ask for another spinal tap,a nerve bio test,and what else maybe another mri of my spine with contrast.Doc stated I dont need any more tests.I had enough tests.Well I'm getting no where fast.Now heres another problem.How can I get my GP to give me a script of LDN tomorrow?I want to take something anything to help me a little bit...............Pete _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Hi Pete,Went through a lot of that for the first 10 years of going to doctors. they thought that I was a nut case. I even started feeling like a nut case. they even sent me to a phychiatrist. he told me that I was holding back something. That I looked to healthy to be sick. Finally a very smart doctor told me that she thought that I had MS and proceded to prove it. I was really happy when I was told that I had MS cause now I knew that I wasn't crazy. Now there was a name for my problems and I wasn't imagening all of this. That was a bad 10 years. As far as getting LDN, you would be better off calling Dr. Bihari's office in NY. at 212-929-4196. He actually takes LDn himself as a maintenace. His family has a lot of cancer and he is trying to prevent himself from getting cancer.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hey pete- I think you have had PLENTy of testing done, I certainly wouldn't subject myself to more especially spinals and mri's. I hope you can find out what it is and be thankful if you don't have MS. I know what its like to have doctors blow you off, for years they've been telling me its 'stress.' Definetly, a part of it but certainly not all of it.
