What else could it be, if a spinal tap says it's not Multiple Schlerosis?
I know a million different things have the same symptoms, but we were all so convinced this is what my cousin had. He's 33 years old, and all of a sudden has lost the use of his limbs, well, over a period of about 6 months. It's gradually getting worst. The doctors seem to be clueless ... how do we figure this out? Are there any good sites for comparing symptoms of diseases?
Answers:
Has your cousin been checked out for cancer? I hope and pray it isn't, however, my niece had gotten a chiropractic adjustment then within an hour or two went to her mom's house complaining of numbness and difficulty walking. Her mom rushed her to the ER. By the time 5 hours had gone by she was paralyzed from the neck down. She was taken to a bigger hospital where they diagnosed her with cancer that had wrapped around her brain stem. From start to finish- she lasted 18 days. She was only 22.
We could only guess here. I would make sure that he's seeing the best neurologist possible.
IF IT IS NOT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS it may be : 1) Polyphasic Disorders: a) Inflammatory disorders b) Infectious diseases, or c ) Granulamatous disorders. 2. Monophasic illness : Acute dissemianted encephlomyelitis or 3)Progressive conditions like : a) Compressive lesions, b) Tropical spastic parapparesis, c) Laber's optic neuropathy
It could still be MS, what does the MRI show? Any lesions? It could be a few other diseases like Lymes diseases or tertiary syphilis. Just don't give up and if you have to suggest he try another doctor.
