[QUOTE="ShakespeareMamaX, post: 125167, member: 3861"] Well...I did print my symptoms up and how often and when they happened. The doctor was pretty concerned. He suggested Lyme Disease, Stroke (but unlikely), MS or Atypical Migraines (he seems to favor this one). He had bloodwork done immediately for many things, including Lyme. He also did and EKG in the office, as my heartrate was a bit fast. Good news! My heart is A-OK. Just for fun, I had a pregnancy test done, as well. If I have to have certain treatments, I don't want to hurt an itty bitty in the process. Negative! Woo hoo! Now, he did also write me a referral for an MRI. He said if there are lesions, it needs to be looked into it more (MS, possibly...probably). If not, it will be assumed Atypical Migraines unless things change down the line. I think I may request another future MRI if my symptoms continue, though. He'd probably beat me to it. He's a fantastic doctor. :blushing2: I've done enough research on MS to kill a buffalo. Hehe Actually, i was already looking into it, as when I mentioned the eye thing and the arm numbness she yelled out "MS!". I was like "why would you [I]say[/I] that???" She didn't know. She barely even knew what it was. THAT freaked me out. My family has a history of "knowing" before the known, I guess you could say. I know some of the symptoms don't fit. Eczema, for example, was just a lucky bonus at a fantastically coincidental time of physical foolishness. The stiffness in my muscle I kind of blame on the car accident, but I figured I'd throw it in, just in case. Poor posture? Probably from poor self esteem. Again, just thrown in. I have a few questions and comments: Sue C ~ That's an awful story. Shame on that doctor! Could you give me some of the syptoms you believe are and are not related? May I ask how you first became concerned with yourself? fairlyoddparent: Yes, I did have the intolerance to wheat up there, but the cursed 500 character limit on the profile made me cut a lot of stuff out.

Hehe I have come to terms that, whatever may be wrong with me, I can accept it (unless deadly! noooo) and believe it to even be a relief...and explanation to why all this random insanity keeps happening to me. I don't wanna wear Depends at 26 but hey...at least I don't have to wait in line at the ladies' room, anymore. :rofl: Thanks, again. :) I really REALLY appreciate it. <3 P.S.
