Hi my name is Blake and I've been having issues with my body going numb in certain places expecially on my left side. And I just on and off on and off I get bad headaches yesterday my top of my head was not, my face was numb, arms were numb, back was numb, and legs were numb but I couldn't lift my legs at all I have a pain in my neck that's always been hurting and I had an MRI 2 years ago and a spinal tap 2 years ago and nothing was shown. How to cat scan yesterday because I had to pull symptoms I tried to do a spinal tap just by itself that didn't work so I'm wondering like what is it? Does that sound like symptoms of multiple sclerosis is it possible to have it without lesions if so how do I get the Department of Veteran Affairs to figure this out?

    Possibly a nerve impingement in your neck? You need an MRI of the neck and spine. With those symptoms, the VA needs to check it out ASAP!

    How is your gait, balance and coordination?

      Don't let the VA get away with that treatment. Put in a complaint with higher officials (and document it). It seems they have not changed a bit in many areas!
