About grandma2009

I have had symptoms for yrs but in 2004 i was having a stroke symptoms,left side numbness, drooping of my face and slurred speech. The doctors ran a MRI,& sent me home telling me there was nothing wrong with me.In 2008 i was having stroke symptoms again the Dr did MRI and determined that it was ms and I have had it for years misdiagnosed. When I got the copies of the MRI from 2004 the report stated patient shows signs of ms but will not diagnose due to age. My age was 43 yrs old.My Neurologist now was very upset when he saw that. I have had pain,weakness,fatigue and other symptoms for yrs.
