Urgent consultation of a NEUROLOGIST is needed!!!

[DSM10000]

All this is very true and when you get news like this from a scan it is very worrying. However, there has been a scan, which implies there is already some medical care and opinion applied, so presumably they are already suggesting the next steps to investigate further?

One would hope so but we can only comment on the information at hand

I can send you the MRI data to your e-mail address

Different neurologists examined me, but their opinions are also different.

Unfortunately single MRI scans are often not conclusive as they are a "snapshot "of the brain at that precise time-- diagnosis may only be confirmed after the passage of time to spot any further degradation of brain tissue--- of all the medical specialities----neurology often relies on the passage of time to confirm diagnosis of a particular neurological condition. I suggest you try contacting that European site I mentioned previously. It may also be helpful to inform them of the precise MRI instrument your scans were performed on.

I just don't know, now I will undergo a course of treatment to improve the condition of my blood vessels and heart (I also have problems), and then the doctor will prescribe a course of treatment.

The methods of treatment are very effective, but the cost of such treatment is very high.

Hello everyone, unfortunately the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was confirmed.

Sorry to hear that.

I have a good friend who has a very aggressive form of MS (most sufferers have a much less progressive form) and one lesson that he would always give any other sufferer is to get on a treatment program that slows progression of the disease as soon as possible as the deterioration it causes can be slowed but is non-reversible.

I wish you well with your management of the disease.

Vladjok My friend .If i had loads of spare cash ,then you would be the first in line for a good sized hand out.

Good morning, I really need a consultation with a neurologist. On December 9, 2022, he had an MRI of the head, the images revealed foci of demyelization, the doctors suspect Multiple Sclerosis, thank you. I apologize for bothering you.

MS is one of the most common ailments you can find.

DON'T worry, even if it is MS, you are almost certainly still going to be able to do almost everything you want to do

There are 3 basic types of MS
Recurring
(Was called recuring-remitting)
Primary progressive
Clinically isolated syndrome
Secondary progressive is now considered to be a version of PPMS

I have PPMS
My sister has RMS

We do what we want to do
I take pain killers, I limp, my memory ain't what it was, but, to hell with MS it isn't stopping me doing what I want to do.
I have an automatic car now, because manual is too many pedals, my right leg is not what it was, but other than that, it doesn't affect me.

As suggested look up the MS Society
There is also a Web site I use, can't remember it's name, I'll dig it out when I get home

Again DON'T worry

Thank you for your support, but how many years have you been ill?

 

[Vladjok]

To be honest, I'm tired of constant illness. All my life - treatment, medicines, consultations with doctors, and the war, uncertainty.

 

[Big Janner]

Thank you for your support, but how many years have you been ill?

Identified in 1986, but, because of employment law here in the UK, it was put on my medical record as a Disseminating Sclerocis.
(MS is a Disseminating Sclerosis)
It was changed to MS in 2006.
So, over 36 years.
As I say, I'm fine.
I have Primary Progressive, which means it gets worse over time, but 36 years in, at 71, I reckon I still have 20 years in me yet.

It can be scary.
My sister is a wreck!
She has Recurring MS, which is harder to live with, but again, 40 years in and she is still going.
She refuses to be beaten and with help from her husband, still does plenty, including pillion on their Honda Goldwing.

In a nutshell, MS is the deterioration of the insulation around your nervous system.
Think of your nerves as a bunch of electrical wires.
Each wire is insulated
Each group is insulated
Each bundle is insulated
The insulation is called Myelin (look it up)
Your nervous system is a series of one way streets.
When the Myelin breaks down messages carried by the nerves get scrambled and so, poor muscle control and erroneous pain is the result.

The Myelin can be developed or in some cases increased with;
High fat diet combined, if possible, with exercise.
You doctor should be able to advise, otherwise, there is ingo out there at the MS Society and the web sites below.

Stay positive
