today the MS doctor told me all four evoked potential test results are normal....
he said looks like we can rule out MS unless i have any future neurological issues...
i asked him why my reflexes on my right side were hypersensitive (since the left side is explained from brain damage area from stroke) and he didn't really have an answer but since all his tests came back normal, he's not concerned.
i also asked what could have caused the spot in my spinal cord that has shown on the two most recent MRI scans and he said that he didn't know, but that it was so tiny that for all he knows, it could have been from when my spinal cord was developing---it wraps around during formation and that there could have been a pocket of spinal fluid that i could have had all my life (but prior MRI scans were just of my brain, not cervical cord)...
as i am writing this i just now realized i have had a full spinal MRI done before, which is when they found i have bulging lumbar disks...i don't know if my cervical cord was shown in that scan---will have to figure that out and see---if it was then that will show the spot or let us know if that spot is new...
monday i go back to the stroke/vascular specialist for the final doppler result....
so it looks i am not as broken as they thought i might be :)
i still get migraines periodically (several lately), but am thinking they are stress-related due to all the tests i've gone through....so now that the testing is over, the headaches should go.....
YAY!!! today is good.
