C/Geo

Thanks C., found the info requested off Yahoogroups.com.

Yes Geo, they ran a spinal tap on me in the very beginning at the MDA

and everything was negative, therefore, they quickly ruled out MS in the

very beginning. Had another spinal tap November 2004 when they were

testing me for the Baclofen pump and everything was said to be negative

then for MS? However, yesterday during me visit, topics were discussed

that I do not remember discussing in the past. Two topics, heat and

humidity raised red flags and the jerky movement of my eyes following

her finger left and right in front of me. Another flag was how quick I

can turn to mush in a matter of ten minutes and then with a short nap

feel fine. In doing some research last evening, one of the early tests

(not used today) was to submerge a person in hot water and those with MS

would almost immediately turn to mush and I do that every day when

bathing. My definition of mush is being so weak and stiff that the body

does not respond to what my brain is telling it to do. Tell me to lift

my leg and end up dragging it. On real humid days, I find myself

feeling the same way. Fortunately, most of the medicines for PLS are

used on MS patients and the Baclofen pump is also used. Oh well, now

scheduled for all the tests again, MRIs, EEGs, EMGs, etc. OH BOY!

Thank you all for the help.
