Hi Jo,
The doctors initially thought I had MS, but the usual tests all came up negative. After years of testing I found out I had Lupus. The way I have it really mimics MS with the nerve and muscle involvement.
Some of your symptoms are similar. I do have tingling and numbness. Initially it was just the lower left leg, then it spread to the right. Finally it went to the arms and face. The headache kicks in when I am flaring. Occasionally the feet will really burn due to the neuropathy. My MRI's also show white matter lesions that are not in the typical pattern for MS.
Was your MRI of just the head or did it include the cervical and thoracic spine?
I hope you get your results back quickly.
Take care,
Lazylegs
