I am beyond frustrated and being to feel like I am a hypochondriac. I have been dealing with MS symptoms for 5 years. I have had been told by every primary doctor I see that I have ms. then when i go to the neurologist they say no. I fall without cause. My hands stop working. I feel weak. My body aches. My vision is horrible. I have many other symptoms that all point to MS. Yesterday I was at work ( i am a nurse) and I suddenly lost the ability to move my left leg. I could not make it go. it felt like it was cold and wet. Of course this happened in front of my bosses. Who promptly informed me i was unsafe and needed to stay home for 3 days (No pay). I have dealt with this forever, however, now it is effecting my job. I need help. I am sick of being told its stress. or theres nothing wrong with me. People just dont fall down for no reason!!My last MRI states that my lesions on my brain are indicative to MS...but the neurologist says no. They keep telling me MS is not painful. There is no pain with MS. Is this true?? I have had many MS patients and I will tell you...they have pain. What the hell? I am beside myself. God am I nuts? My primary doctor is wonderful, she believes I have MS. She wants to send me to a major hospital in Albany NY. She thinks they will find it...or what ever it is. Has anyone else had such a difficult time getting diagnosed??
