      10 years ago I noticed my left hand was shaking. I didn't think much of it and figured it was from drinking too much caffeine. by the end of that week, my right hand started in, as well as my arms and legs were numb with ins and needles. I was also experiencing severe headaches. I went to the doctor who sent me for a ct scan which came back negative for any tumor. This was somewhat of a relief however, I then started having a severe pain in my left eye followed by my face going numb, having a tremor in my jaw, and my body ached all over. I saw a neurologist who said it could be a viral infection, and I should try to wait it out. While under his care, I went and saw a very well known neurologist who after meeting with me for an hour, diagnosed my with M.S. I hadn't even had an MRI or spinal tap yet. I was devastated. I then did have an MRI and spinal tap which wee both negative. I was also tested for Lymes Disease, and everything else a person can possibly be tested for. All negatve.
