> Yeah I've always had a wicked strong immune system. Everyone around me would get sick and I either wouldn't or I would have some symptoms for a day and that would be it. But the last 2 and a half years have been hell and I have been sick bad a few times. So, I guess it wouldn't be surprising to me if I did carry something around with me for a while without it really affecting my health.Morganator, I was always healthy, I would never get sick. Previous to being dxed MS, and since, I get many 1 day colds. I never used to get cold. It's autoimmune disorder, so i guess it's part of it.
I really hope that you are able to rule MS out. Demand the spinal tap, and maybe even a Evoked Potential Testing.
Find a good neurologist.
Had I not PUSHED the hell out of my drs to find something, they wouldn't have. they didn't believe me, and were reluctant to do tests, and even as they did the tests, said they did not expect to find anything. Screw them. Your own intuition knows better than any dr'Brian
