Hi doctor, I live in uk and am showing many signs of ms, but have not been diagnosed. My hp has refered me to neuro . Two questions.... 1. My body jerks a lot, I itch like mad, and have tremors... How will it be possible for me to have an mri scan and keep still? 2. My father has died from complications with hemi migraine , my sister has it now, my nephew has epilepsy and my niece sufferes from ME. Can it be possible for me to have MS? Regards Julia
Hi Julia, I have read your symptoms in detail, and based on them, there is little chance of you having MS. However, MRI brain would help in making a diagnosis. If you are not still during MRI, they would give you short term sedation or light general anesthesia. You could be having Myoclonic epilepsy and migraines, both of which can be managed with medications. I hope it helps. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
