Recurrent episodes of intense symptoms with no answers - I Need Help
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: Aug 8 6:52am | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
My neurologist and my Rheumatologist want me to go to specialist as I'm abnormal in a MS test from Mayo Clinic, but bands are within normal range. I had a MRzi without contrast and my white matter is not right and I'm showing infracts and have always had low blood pressure.. MS can cause those.. I also have limited scleroderma with all those symptoms going strong. It can cause infracts as well with damage to the vessels and it can cause small vessel disease.. They both feel they weren't knowledgeable enough and has referred me to that specialist . I'm now waiting to getting an appointment with her. I am having lots of MS symptoms as well. I'm wishing you luck!!

Hello @taylor05
I would like to join @colleenyoung in welcoming you to Mayo Connect. As Colleen suggested, when you see the specialist, it would be a good idea to bring with you a list of your symptoms and any activity that might trigger the symptoms.
Here is an excellent discussion on tips to getting off to a good start with a new doctor. I'd encourage you to read all of the posts and also to watch the video that is in the first post.

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you continue to post as you have questions or concerns?
