Hi, my name is Gwen. I have a long medical history that I wont bore
you with the details, however I have recently been told I might have Autoimmune
Interstitial Cystitis but still havent gotten a confirmed diagnosis yet and I
have Elevated Liver Enzymes which My hep doc thinks may be autoimmune related
also but he has yet to start me on any corticosteroids. Now I am exhibiting
symptoms which I believe could be MS. Autoimmune diseases run on my mother's
side of the family that includes 2 cousins who have MS. Here are the symptoms I
am currently having:
*Elevated LFT`s
*Migranes
*Trigeminal Neuralgia
*Glossopharangyl Neuralgia
*Jerking leg & arm movements especially at night when lying down
*When turning my head it jerks like someone with parkinsons disease
*Numbness in my fingers and toes
*Swollen finger joints that feel tight
*Sometimes conversations sound scrambled
*Some memory loss - I forget the names of people and places, recent things & it
takes me a while to try to remember them
I have an appt with my regular doc soon and I'm going to demand that something
be done. There is something wrong with me and I want to know what it is! Im
scared! Any advice as to how I should proceed? Could this be MS?
