I need an expert...To me symptoms are not adding up..I was diagnosed as having
dysautonomia. I am wondering if I was misdiagnosed..My mri (10 yrs ago) was normal,
spinal fluid for oglibands normal and fluid normal in all other ways. EMG and
evoked potential all normal except for many many fascillations(considered normal
kind. ...Vitimen assays, lupus, tb, all normal.The things that were not normal
are..anti mylelin Ig g was positive 1:8 and the antimyelin Igm pos 1:1 .Also my
standing catachloimines were excessively increased. These are some of my symptons...dizzy,
balance problems, bladder problems, eyeball pain, double vision, nystigmus, severe
vascular headaches, symptoms get worse in heat and sultry weather, muscle twitchin,
involunrtary jerking, weakness, wasting, electrical shooting pains down both legs
and sides of legs, memory loss, continuous paresthesia, numbness, gastrological
problems, breathing weak ess, heart beating real fast and too low at other times.
What seems so strange to me is that a leg or something will be affected and then
get better only to get worser next time it happens. Do you have nystigmus, double
vision, occular neuritiis with dysautonomia? Is it possible that I have MS but
the autonomic nervous has been severely affected? Is that possible based on what
I said? Please someone with some expert advice , come forward...(The mRI was done
without dye) It was done only on the brain. Should it have been done on the spine
also??????I sincerely appreciate anyones time and effort that it took to respond.
Thanks for your help.....Do the antibiodies have readings like mine with MS?
