Hello, I don't yet have a diagnosis, but I am 50 with a lifetime of symptoms that seem to be getting progressively more prevalent. Mayo just called my number today. They are looking at me from a headache/migraine perspective per my neurologist's PA's referral. One reason being that I have a pacemaker in my spine, which prohibits an MRI of that area (where I have been told things are a "hot mess.") He said the diagnosis doesn't matter, that he would just treat symptoms as they arose, anyway. Will Mayo take my health history and web it together, or will they laser focus on just this one symptom? Anyone? TIA

Hi, @kennywood - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad you are getting closer to potentially getting some answers for the lifetime of symptoms you've experienced.

What I'd suggest, since we are not medical professionals here on Connect, is to ask whomever is in contact with you about a Mayo Clinic appointment about what the process will be with your health history.

As you posted here in a multiple sclerosis discussion, wondering if you and your doctor are thinking this might be a potential diagnosis for you?
