I would like some advice and info please.
I have been told I have had cfs/me for 12 years.
I woke up in November with vertigo, pressure in left side of head, left eye felt odd and watery, left cheek felt odd etc. I felt different than with my normal cfs symptoms.
I have extreme fatigue but sometimes it feels like my head and eyes are fatigued if that makes sense. My right arm and leg feel cold and different to my left. My head feels dizzy and when I am sitting still it feels like my head is swaying. I look ill and pale and my skin is awful and dry.
I asked my gp for a cat scan and 3 shadows/lesions were on it. I am waiting to see a neurologist and my gp said there was a few things they thought it could be. I have looked online and ms seems to be the only one that fits my symptoms.
I have had 2 mri scans and a ct scan over the 12 years but they were always clear so I am confused if I havent had cfs and it's been ms or have I developed ms now on top of cfs?

What I did when I was trying to figure out what I had was to get a couple of books on MS and see if I identified. That is how i figured out I had MS. Go to the library -- they are free and you can research the disease and see if you identify. You could also look up other diseases.
There is always the possibility of duel diagnosis. Good luck to you whatever you do.
