Well, as Karma predicted, my MRI was normal.

I have to keep a symptom diary for a week and then go back. What I really want to do, and what I think I will do, is go in if I happen to have a 'bad' day between now and then. By bad, I mean really fatigued, shaky, numb, weak all the crap I've been dealing with for the past months/years. I want my doc to see my when I'm like that rather than on a 'good' day....I can try and describe my symptoms to him all I want to, but I think him seeing it will be much more helpful.

So, whilst I now know I don't have a tumor, I'm still left wondering just what the hell IS going on. I have my suspicions...but for now I'm going to just soldier on and not worry about it.

I still wish I hadn't gone to the doctor though.

Thanks, guys. It's not so bad. There's worse things to have than MS.

Still sounds like some sort of auto immune problem to me. MS, Lupus and the sort are very tricky to diagnose. I think your idea of going in while you are experiencing the symptoms is extremely wise!

Best wishes.
