How to diagnose multiple sclerosis?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have carefully gone through your symptoms and reports. Based on your description, your condition does not strongly suggest multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is relatively uncommon in males and typically presents with specific neurological symptoms such as painful vision loss, electric shock-like sensations, or clear episodes of neurological deficits. Your normal CT scan and stable blood parameters, including a normal platelet count, WBC count, and low ESR, do not point toward an active inflammatory or autoimmune neurological disorder.

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.Sorry to hear that. Probably when you passed out, you had a seizure. The doctor typically prescribed steroids and anti-epileptic drugs, and the paralyzed side started moving again.If the tumor is removed, there is no reason for the side not to become functioning again.

After getting neck pain, I have tingling and numbness in my legs. Is this normal?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your query. A pinched nerve is different from a pinched spinal cord. Compression of the spinal cord can be suspected clinically, and it is confirmed by doing MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the cervical spine. It is unlikely to have tingling in both legs due to compression of the spinal cord.

What are the different ways to diagnose multiple sclerosis?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I am so sorry to known that happened to you. The symptoms that you suffer from and the MRI suggest that you have Optic neuritis. Many times (around 40%), optic neuritis are a forerunner for Multiple sclerosis, but in some cases, it only stays as isolated optic neuritis. The way to diagnose multiple sclerosis is by an MRI brain and spine with contrast (in your case, spine is not done) to check for silent lesions.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. First of all, it does not seem to be bad. I want to enquire a little bit more about the tightness symptoms. Is it always present? Or is it throbbing? Is the tightness more in the daytime or the night time? One-sided symptoms in the head, especially in the temple in a young female, are typical of migraine symptoms. Now migraine starts typically as a one-sided throbbing headache, or it can be at the top of the head or can be both-sided accompanied by nausea or vomitings or some giddiness episodes.

Are you able to eat because of the jaw clenching? How long your headache stays? Please answer the above questions for me to give you the correct advice.
