a; I have been away most of the long week-end, but want to respond

now to your post. I think that doctors who leap to the psychiatric explanation

FIRST, are quite misguided. My guess is that you DO have MS, and one can

have MS with ONE lesion! As you have so neatly trimmed your post, I cannot

respond to anything about " these symptoms. " I have had pain with my own

MS, after about ten years, and they do not call it " pins and needles " numbness

for nothing! True numbness has not pain, just loss of it an a feeling

of numbness.

Pain is an integral part of most auto-immune diseases, of MS, and of most

neurological diseases. Please do post back to tell us/me of all the symptoms

to which you are referring, if you feel like doing that. I have no

doubt that all

that you are experiencing is very real, and is not some psychiatric thing.

Not that MS cannot cause one to be depressed, confused or down, but

this doctor sounds pretty heartless to me.

Love,
