Neurologist update

Well I went to my new neurologist. He was referred to me by someone who has ms. Let me say this dr was great. He answered all my questions and Roberts. He was very thourou with my exam. I had a lot of test done and some interesting findings. My walk is def off. As the dr put it it seems like I'm walking in slippers and can't get my footing. He did some reflex tests and discovered my whole left side is hyper sensitive which is odd ad of course my vision is a problem an my eyes where a little off. My left eye doesn't diailate as fast as my right when exposed to bright light nor expand as fast when the light is removed. So it seems the disease is taking over my left side and affecting it. He said he wants some more proof before diagnosing me just because my symptoms are not major but says he's def thinking ms. I go for another MRI this month and meet again in feburary to discuss everything. I also have started a drug to help with my feet. Maybe it's me being optimistic but I think it's working. The drug was originally used for epileptics but they have recently discovered it helps with pain due to nerve issues ands a common drug for people with ms. So that's my update for now. Just waiting longer! Hopefully come feburary we have some more answers. Just sucks waiting so long maybe with any luck my dr will get my MRI results and have me come in sooner. Wishful thinking!
