My husband has not technically been diagnosed with MS, however, we saw a neurologist about a year ago who mentioned it. No other further work up was done. Here we are a year later and the finger spasms/twitches are progressively worsening and he is having right sided paralysis. He was admitted to the neuro ICU. They poked him with needles and he felt nothing. Was unable to move his limbs or feel anything on the right side of his chest and abdomen. While on the steroid drip, function slowly… read more

Thank you. Discharged again today. Will see what happens. It’s the weekend so of course no follow up with a neurologist any time soon. Praying for a “symptom” free weekend.

@A MyMSTeam Member said: ...multiple MRIs

If nothing shows up on an MRI, they will not diagnose MS. The 3T version is better than the 1.5T. That does not mean that nothing will show later. I remember not knowing was the worst. I wanted to just die. Really, bed-ridden without hope was worse than death, for me anyway.

He has had multiple MRIs. I just wonder if the lesions are not big enough to be noticed (if there are any). We went to another hospital and they admitted him and started doing their own diagnostics. He is back on a steroid drip and is starting to be able to move his hand and arm. Imagine that... They want to put him in rehab for 2 weeks. Still no diagnosis at this point. Very frustrating.

Thank you for your input.
