Good news, and bad news

[Mr. Scot]

So I pressed the doctors for information and was able to get the results back on my spinal tap.

Normal, so it looks like I don't have multiple sclerosis :hurray:

Now for the bad part :(

There's still the matter of the thirty-plus spots the MRI found in my brain and the extreme weakness that I've been feeling for the past month or so that has kept me from working.

So if it isn't MS, what is it? :confused:

Right now, I'm pursuing the possibility that maybe my sleep apnea has worsened. That would help explain the weakness and fatigue, but I'm not certain it explains the spots in my brain.

Essentially, one large bullet dodged. Time to see where the next one is coming from.

Good news on the MS and good luck going forward.

Congrats man. Glad to hear that your okay in that regard. Hopefully just some minor abnormalities and you can be on your way.

[Mr. Scot]

Have to say I have been one scared individual for the past several weeks.

If there's a chance now that this problem is something that can be treated and I can get back to a normal life, I'll be pretty happy.

[Jeff L]

Great news!! Hopefully everything else is minor and you can get back to feeling normal!

[Mr. Scot]

It'd be nice :)

[mmmbeans]

congrats man.

[Chaos]

Been thinking about you - glad to know that MS is out of the equation. Time to be Captain Positive and believe that whatever ails you can be cured, and you'll move on from this.

[PanthaSan]

Ok, well that's one battle won. Hopefully it's just something minor that looks worse.

Good luck, Scot.

[Mr. Scot]

It's been hell not knowing. I can tell you that.

Still, until they can figure out what it is, I'm gonna be dealing with the symptoms :(

Two doctor's appointments next week to explore other options, but at least this part of it is a weight off my mind.

TV doctors can always figure everything out in less than an hour. Real life? Not so much.

Consider going to other doctors and hospitals for other opinions.

Maybe you should see a TV doctor then.

Glad to hear the good news, hopefully it will be something odd but simple.

And I hope you are prepared for the possibility that they might not be able to do much for you.

Great news, and I'm really glad to hear it. Good luck with the next diagnosis.

Experience has taught me that.

I will be seeing a different doctor than the one I have been.
