Guest guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hello All---I thought I would ask the experts on the list my cries for help. It's been 8 years and still no luck--all tests are " normal " . Hubby started with burning feet in 2002 then the left leg became spastic (tight) and continued throughout the years to both legs bladder arms hand right up to the mouth of slurred speech. We've been to 11 neurologists in and out of Boston, MA and Providence RI -- so many MRI's 2 spinal taps and so much bloodwork Dracula would be jelous! Hubby was finally diagnosed with PLS (Primary Lateral Sclorsis)--this is a disease of elimination--they exhaust all avenues and when everything comes out clean and the disease progresses they put it under the ALS umbrella calling it PLS (Primary Lateral Sclrosis) We finally went to a LLMD a few months ago who is also a NEurologist, who is taking more tests of her own to try to prove it is lyme with co-infections. We will go over the tests on Wednesday. Does anyone else on this list have similiar symptoms? Can anyone share with me the road that will lay ahead? He is so sick of brain fogg and not being able to walk, write, tie a button or speach like he's not drunk! He just started taking probiotics and lots of Vitamin C in addition to Vitamin B shots and folic acid. His homocysteine and methlmyelonic levels are way off so he started with the shots over a year ago and still no changes. Any advice would be so much help to us right now. Even if you don't think it is lyme please let us know so we can cross it off the list. Thank you in advance for reading this and listening to my cry for help.--Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
