I would have gone on none with wiser until I was hit in the head a few months back ago and went for a CT. The CT came back abnormal and suggested I get a head MRI. The MRI showed I had over 20 lesions in my brain! Which lead up to my first visit to a neurologist who order the C and T spines. The also showed a few lesions on my spine. Then lumbar puncture or spinal tap was done. This too came back and pointed towards MS. I know it is expensive. (Every time the doctor talks to me its like talking to Charlie Brown's teacher saying, "Ch-ching, ch-ching..."
But I would recommend definitely getting a head MRI and spinal tap. The MRI's and and the tap will tell the story, because MS has some many symptoms that could look like other things. If you really feel like it is MS I think that would be the way to go. In the meantime, look into changing your diet primarily removing gluten first. Then diary and refined sugar. This could help bring you a little relief until you get some meds.
I know its scary right now. I have been getting all these test done since the end of last year. Insurance approval blah, blah and red tape. The suspense was unbearable...the unknown. All I knew and made up my mind was that no matter what I claimed my healing. God is healer and I know it. His healing powers plus the natural fruits, veggies, and vitamins they hold is where our healing lies. Claim your healing!View Thread
