[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 125180"] Honestly, with everything you have going on, I'd want a referral to a neurologist. I'm assuming the doctor you are talking about is your primary care doctor. He may be wonderful - and he certainly sounds like it - but he doesn't have the specialized training it sounds like you could benefit from. There are all kinds of neurological disorders that could be causing the symptoms you're having besides MS, such as neuropathy, etc. Even with the Atypical Migraine diagnosis, I'd still want a neuro involved. FWIW, if the MRI is to look for MS, make sure it specifies to use contrast. You can have an MRI with or without contrast, but to look for MS you need contrast. Also, according to the MS society website, an MRI can rule in MS, but it cannot rule it out. Just another reason I think you should have a full neurological workup. Also, the Lyme test is pretty well known to throw out false negatives. Yeah, I've been doing some research, too. [/QUOTE]
