The MS Threat

"If you had cancer, you'd be dead," The Neurologist says looking up at me from behind her desk and smiling.

It's called "paresthesia," which is simply unusual sensations such as burning or pins and needles usually in the extremities.

"I'm not worried about it," The Neurologist states.

"Do you think it could be something like MS?" I ask.

"No, not really...I don't know." She thinks about this further and then toward the end of our appointment, she adds, "Let's just get it out of the way"--referring to screening me for multiple sclerosis.

I have a brain MRI on Thursday and then some additional nerve tests concerning my eyes and ears.
