[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 115590, member: 84"] Heather I'm not trying to scare you or anything. I'm just tossing out an idea and what you said caused to pop into my head. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">My balance issues are mostly on my left side. My nerve issues are on the left side. My eye issues have been with my left eye. </div></div> Is it possible you've had a small stroke? I know you've had an MRI, but in young people this is not what they're looking for. So I don't know if your neuro was having them look for this or not. But your symptoms are Travis in reverse. His is on his right side. Neuro is stumped maybe because of your age? You'd be young for a stroke. That was the problem we had with Travis. The neuros kept coming up with excuses for his symptoms becasue he was simply too young. (oh, no! It just couldn't be that!) Until he had one that was major enough to cause profound facial droop on the right side. THEN they sat up and took notice. (and I'd found a neuro worth a darn) Like I said, I'm not trying to scare you. This might be completely off track. But when I read what you said, read in your sig about the heart disease, well- that's what popped into my head. We went thru like 6 neuros before we found someone to listen and take action. Although Travis has had a series of strokes, none have really shown up on the MRI because of previous brain damage due to a massive sroke/heart failure at birth. Frustrating. But it did lead to me telling neuro about how anyone who has ever drawn the boys blood said that it was so thick it made drawling it really hard. doctor put 2 and 2 together, did the testing, and we discovered Travis has the polycythemia. Polycythemia can cause a person's blood to become so thick it's easy to clot, thus causing strokes. We had our answer. Answers can sometimes come from asking the most innocent off the wall questions. Hopefully the rhuemo will be able to find some answers, or maybe pose some questions that will lead to the answers. I don't blame you for being frustrated. Hugs [/QUOTE]
