Could these be ms symptoms?

I am experiencing exactly the same symptoms as you, and like you have had clear MRI; mine was Brain MRI and lumbar spine MRI. I have been experiencing lightheadedness for about 8 weeks now, and the patches of numbness down my right hand side of my body (leg, forearm, hand, foot, face) is driving me crazy! I have been to see a neuro who done an examination (reflexes, checked eyes etc) and told me I don't have MS. I'm not so sure. I am pursuing further neuro appointment for further investigation. Did you have spine and brain MRI done? How long have you had these symptoms?

A lot of your symptons do point towards MS, although you had an mri scan was it the right one. Before I wad diagnosed I went to the doctor because of difficulty walking he sent me for an mri which came back showing nothing wrong. Because the mri wa only done of the lower part of my body it did not pick any problems it was only after I fell over at work and struggled to back to my feet that I spent time in hospital and had a full mri which then showed signs of demylination.

As for your aunt they do say that if someone in your family as MS then your chances are enhanced but I do not know if tjis is true.

I wish you well for the future and hope everything turns out the way you hope . Take care x

i'll give an explanation of how i was diagnosed (dx) with MS more than 10 years ago. in retrospect, i'd been having neuro. symptoms for 10-15 years prior to the dx. when i was going through the process, not having a clue what was wrong. because my symptoms had gone crazy (i later realised it was 'a relapse'), after a fall on ice. i was being seen by orthopaedics, i was treated REALLY badly, virtually being told, by a consultant, who briefly glanced at my bone scans/MRI, and didn't examine me, that i was just trying to stay on the sick, after the scan/MRI didn't show bone damage.

as a last resort, i saw his colleague, privately. i had a whole hour, he actually talked to me and did some basic checks on my reflexes, which weren't reacting at all normally. he then did a full range of on the spot neuro tests. he told  me that he felt that i was displaying neurological symptoms, (i said 'what, like MS...?! not really thinking that it was). he thought that i should have more comprehensive MRI's done in a dedicated neuro MRI dept (there are very differing resolutions in different MRI machines). he passed me back to the NHS, and on to a neurologist friend of his, for actual nero MRI's and lumbar puncture (LP)!

it's worth noting, that when i had MRI's of my brain, cervical and thoracic spine done, the brain one came back with no visible damage. the other 2 showed a lot of lesions, merging into each other. i was given a lumbar puncture, which isn't absolutely essential, but is the accepted 2nd test fior MS (if suggested it's definately a good idea to have one done). they look for oligoclonic bands in cerebrospinal fluid, which are generally permanently present in samples from people with MS.

if anyone online tells you that taking vitamin D will, stop MS relapses, or anything like that, according to the NHS there is, currently, no evidence to support this claim. if you plan to take it: you need to have your blood tested first , only take it if  a medic prescribes it. vitamin D overdose isn't common, but in the worst cases it can permanently damage the liver. sorry to throw that into your post, but i've seen various other, posts telling people to take it, i'm just passing on a word of caution, when i remember.

i hope that you get some answers quickly, about what's going on with your health, take care. x
