I just wanted to share my story with people that may understand.

I started having strange symptoms for the past 2 years now.

1)Several very bad vertigo spells (one so bad I could not even stand up)I went
to the Dr and he did canolith repositioning and told me to take dramamine.

2) Migraines/headaches. Peaked at their worst ealier this year. When they come
on they last a few days with little help from motrin or Aleve. Burning scalp,
numb face, numb arm, tearing eye and sore eye socket..all on right side of body.
Went to neuro Dr and he said I have chronic migraines. Ordered an MRI w/out
contrast, came back normal. Prescribed Topamax which I was on for 2 months
though could not tolerate side effects.

3) Stomach problems. IBS like symptoms and diarrhea and constipation.
Repetitive cycle. Recently had bleeding and went to the ER, CT done and was
diagnosed with colitis. Have to have further testing now on that.

4) Other neuro symptoms. Stuttering. I have never stuttered in my life and am
a speech pathologist so I know it is not caused by stress etc. Dr said could be
due to migraine disorder? Also.. brain fog. Forgetful and spacey feeling at
times.

5) Anxiety attacks. These I think could be from being so stressed about my
symptoms. I also get heart palps a lot lately and did not before.

So there it is in a nutshell. I am considering asking for another MRI with
contrast this time as I read that it is better for diagnosing MS. I do not want
to have MS believe me... I am just so frustrated with my symptoms and over the
past year feel as if my health has deteriorated. Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
