I just thought I would my update after having my nerve conduction tests last week. They came out fine
However, I'm going to go through more testing for MS. My neurologist I finally got one that knows their stuff lol) has concerns because of my speech and memory issues, along with tremors and jerks, some urine leakage, ringing in ears, and now a creepy skin feeling. The creepy skin feeling drives me nuts ... Sometimes I feel as if some or some things are crawling on me and when I go to look there's nothing there (even worse when I try to sleep). I have to go for another MRI with contrast and eventually a spinal tap when my neurologists gets my records from my old doctors. Until then, all I can do is wait. ~Lovelyhzleyes~View Thread

I had my spine appointment March 12th and apparently I have a bulging disk. Going to physical therapy and waiting for pain management to start getting injections. However, my spine specialist is a very smart man. With everything I am experiencing (like dropping things, weird sensations going through and down parts of my body, not being able to button or open certain things, weakness, fatigue, etc), he has referred me to have nerve conduction tests in my arms and legs (I know I won't be a happy camper after it's done lol) and go from there. Wish me luck everyone!

) I will definitely keep you updated and will also keep pushing the issue to see a neurologist; which hasn't been done because my doctor is so focused on Spinal Stenosis and not anything else right now. I have great insurance now, so when I do see a neurologist I can go to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
)Honestly ... I'm not happy about my diagnosis or other diagnosis's which may be found too, but I accept them; which is all I can do. I was angry at first, but being angry only makes things worse. There is one thing I am embarrassed about ... I have been having some incontinence off and on the past 4-5 months. I'm only 41 (42 in April) and I don't like it one bit (especially when I'm out in public). I guess I'll have to start wearing pads more often.
Anyway, I will keep all of you posted and if you would like you can send me a request for Facebook. My name is exactly like this ... Messina Tanya. My profile photo has rocks on it with words (mainly used for college and some friends that won't post anything crazy lol). It was great hearing from you again Kim and thank you for your reply and being there, not just for me, but for everyone. You are a blessing!

It's very frustrating waiting like this. I am currently doing some research about going to the Mayo clinic in AZ, but it will have to wait until I see a specialist here in Vegas after the new year (also when my new insurance takes effect) and go from there.View Thread

I have to wait until the new year to see a specialist due to my health insurance changing again. I would see the neurologist that couldn't figure out whether is was MS or Stroke, but she will not see me because I had seen another neuro due to insurance changes back then too; which I think was wrong of her to do considering she was highly recommended, you know? I'm getting more dizzy episodes and it doesn't matter whether I'm sitting, standing or lying down. In constant pain for 4 to 5 straight months now, fatigued, etc. etc. I'm getting frustrated big time.View Thread
