My doc says that I have almost all the symptoms of MS and is sending me for an MRI on Monday. I'm nervous about this. I know you guys can't give me a yes or no, but I'd just like some ideas.
My skin feels raw. Feels like someone is pulling the skin off of the muscles. Mostly on my arms, from the elbows to the back of the hands. Sometimes it hurts for the water to run on my skin, and even the air from the Air Conditioner in the car, drove me nuts blowing on my hand. I had to keep my hand in my lap, outta the air. I've started having incontinence problems, peed myself once, and feel the urge to go alot. Before I was Dx in 2001, I had and still do from time to time, the numb spots (about 7, the size of quarters) on my back. They were numb and itched like crazy. But I was tested in '01, with a neg. result. I don't know if I'd come up positive or not.
Oh, and I get blurry vision about 10 days outta the month. It can only be in one eye or both. It lasts a day or two, and goes away.
Now I have Fibromyalgia, and I know fibro can mimic MS, but the doc knows I have fibro. So any ideas?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
Question: My skin seems MORE sensitive to water, air, touch, etc. Isn't it the opposite with MS?
Thank you so much for helping me. I am concerned, but not panicing yet.
Talon is right about the spinal tap. They might want to do one after they see your film. The tap does suck but think of it like this: If they say you need one, you can use it as an excuse to do NOTHING but lie flat, drink cold drinks and watch movies! :)
