Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I have all the symptoms of MELAS, even Dr Cohen said so, but no diagnosis. I stopped all my supplements about a month ago in hopes of some DNA testing etc. I also have been on oral Provera the first 10 days of each month for almost a year to control/stop hemorrhaging and last month my gyn said to start taking them every other month. Last Thursday I suddenly could not walk, just shuffled my feet, fell a couple of times and decided to see the doctor. Nothing really was different and no stroke but the thought of transverse myelitis and MS was discussed. Lab work done on Sunday showed low calcium, low blood protein but high in my urine, sodium and potassium were both in normal range, glucose 70's(usually 80-90). I had some improvement by yesterday but today is not better and it hit me that I have also not had the Provera...just wondering if stopped that too may have had an effect on general condition.
