Muscle Spasms, Tingling Sensation, Blurred Vision And Slurred Speech Caused By Lesions On Brain. Nerves Affecting Heart Major Concern?

Over the past year, I have deteriorated rapidly to the point where I am now afraid to leave my home. Jan 2013, an MRI showed 2 small lesions on my brain. Symptoms worsened, including, tremors, muscle spasms, extraordinary pain, tingling numbness everywhere , trouble walking some days, loss of balance, slurred speech, loss of consciousness or trouble staying conscious, blurred vision, extreme fatigue, Low body temp, low BP, abnormal EKG s, ,severe cognitive problems, feel as is losing touch with reality...at times..----Per July MRI showed 15 lesions. Neuro said I don t know what to do , Cardiologist says heart issues are stemming from neurological issues. Been told by hospital docs probably MS, but neuro says no because spinal tap came back OK. I literally feel as if I am slowly dying, body shutting down, one cell at a time. I have lost much faith in doctors and their oath to heal. If it s not MS, there are other possibilities, Huntingtons etc. I am so tired of being my own advocate and am not sure I even have the strength to fight. Yes, I realize my issues are complicated, but where do I go from here. Why can I not be admitted to a hospital and get to the root of it all, rather than admitted for a day or two and sent home to follow up with neurologists etc....Please help. Leslie

Dear Mam.
This kind kind of problems are usually seen in Multiple Sclerosis, and CSF is not the only criteria to proove it. It is relapsing and remitting disease, which is distributed in time and space, it means its not essential to get all signs and symptoms at one time.

What cardiac issues you have, MS is infrequently associated with heart diseases.

I suggest you to see an internal medicine specialist who will review all the things and balance the views of cardiologist and Neurologist.

If you wish you can also send all your reports to us with detailed history.

Wish you good health mam.
