Symptom Update Before I Get My MRI Results

Because I had called and requested to find out the results of my MRI before my next appointment, I got a call this week. The receptionist at the Neurologist's office briefly told me that my report said there where white matter spots and also a mild bulging disc. That is all she could tell me until my follow-up appointment this Tuesday (July 10).

In the meantime, I have had continuing symptoms. Although the past two days, my headaches haven't been as bad, I am having worse balance / walking issues. Also, while eating at Cracker Barrel this weekend, I suddenly dropped my fork because my right hand went numb. On the way out of the store, I almost fell as I lost my balance while reaching for the door to leave. A brand new symptom is a buzzing / vibrating sensation that I had in my ankle or heel of my right foot as I took steps and put weight on it. Very strange indeed!

For now, I have been reading and reading and reading all the sites I can find online that have the symptoms I am experiencing and as usual, it is always Lyme and / or MS that comes up with the closest match. At this point, I just want to know WHAT it is that I have!!!

    1. On February 7, 2013 I was diagnosed with MS. I lived with it for 5 years and now when I decided to go to a new MS doctor, he isn't sure I have MS. So now I'm wondering if it is still Lyme? I KNOW I had Lyme but many doctors don't believe it. The doctor who diagnosed me with MS didn't believe that Lyme could be this bad either. Now I'm back to square one. THankfully I am not as bad as I was 5 years ago but it can flare up at any time.
