Hi All. I've been trying to get any DX for what has been going on with me. My PA suggested it was MS but I went to my Dr. the other day and he said he didn't think so. He told me I probably was just stressed. When I was in his office, I actually was slurring my speech! My face was numb and I was in a lot of physical pain. He was just like--well, I guess we'll order an MRI. Other than that he told me there wasn't anything he could do for me. He made comments about my weight (you eat a lot of pasta don't you?) he made comments about me wanting to have another child (I think you're crazy) and basically called me a lier. I'm a little down about it as you can probably tell.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
finally I went to MCG where I found Dr. Mary Huges! She is a wonderful doctor! I just love her. Her sister has MS so she's a lot more understanding than any other MS doctor I'd ever seen! (or any other doctor I've ever seen too!)
It just takes time finding the right one. I'd do some research online and ask around. If you live in Georgia or close to Augusta, then I recommend Dr. Huges.
I hope you find a good one soon. But please look for another one. I think that would help for sure!
God bless ya

You definitely need another doctor. I hate the "It's just stress" line more than anything. It makes me really angry. So do comments about weight.
I really really hope you can find someone else. This one is the pits!
It is 'funny' in a twisted way that besides the 'shock' I was actually happy when I got my diagnosis (I finally knew what was wrong!).

I was with my gp for 10 min. and he said stress, I said absoultly not. I am happyer than Iv'e ever been, I just have no energy and my hands and feet keep falling asleep.
he then suggested an MRI and 3 days after my mri he called me at work and said you have a lot of spots on your brain and you need to see a neuro. right away. I was dx. a week later.
just keep pushing until you get answers.
good luck.
they thought my groc. list of symtoms were always made up.
