Migraines or ms
Posted , 7 users are following.
Is it possible for migraines to leave lesions on my brain and damage my myelin sheath. I've had an mri and it said i had a dymyelting disease such as multiple sclerosis. My neurologist never said anything to me my rheumatologist gave me a copy of my lasted mri. I called my family doctor and scheduled an appointment with a new neurologist and an optamogist. But unfortunately my neurologist appointment isn't until may... I keep getting told i have chronic migraines and fibromyalgia... I keep getting pins and needles in my hands and feet , my legs fall out from under me, i see floaters, and auras or maybe the best way to describe it is staticy. And i have accidents... Last i checked peeing your pants was not a symptom on fibromyalgia. I am in constant pain. I am sensitive to light.

Hello, it sounds to me like you do have MS. You need to ask your Dr or write to the neurologist for a proper diagnosis. I sincerely wish you well. I have MS and arthritis and sometimes think i have fibromyalgia, i believe fibromyalgia is linked to ms, i have no evidence it's just my own belief.

I went to 7 doctors 6 of them told to start with the medication but i was afraid due to the relapse of optic neuritis and the lesions

I also have the same symptoms as you and also have episodes of slurred speech and my sight is getting worse...I'm confused as my neurologist has advised I have fibromyalgia and silent migraines with essential tremor but still think I have MS as a lot of my symptoms do not fit Fibromyalgia...my scans show white matter both in my brain and spine but still being told it's not MS so given up keep complaining.

Hi I'm sorry to hear about your experience, I have MS RRM it took 20 yrs of going to dr before I was properly diagnosed. I can't say if you have MS it effects every person differently. I can say some of your symptoms are consistent with MS. Two things helped with my diagnosis, one my general practices Dr told me to start keeping a journal of my symptoms, the date yr time of day symptoms and duration here in the USA this can also help if you ever need to get onto disability. 2 my past ct,pet,and mri scans keep everything in a file. To be diagnosed for MS there will be several test for other diseases, these test are done to rule out everything else before they will say it's MS. I hope you will start a journal it was very helpful to the neurologist it gives them a snapshot into your life which will hurry the diagnosis. My prayers and good wishes for you.
