I have had multiple underlying medical conditions for years now and I'm working with multiple doctors to help figure out what is causing all of them. THey include b-12 deficiency, high testosterone, white & gray matter lessions in my brain(that have grown in number and size over a 3 year period), mitral valve prolapse, positive rheumatoid factor but not diagnosed with rh. arthritis. along with all these things come symptoms....chronic fatigue, depression, anxiety, heart palpitations, extreme hair growth (in places not welcomed), double vision, lip & mouth tingling and temporary paralysis and extreme sleeping inconsistancies. Anyone out there know what this all can be caused by???? I've been tested for all the obvious and MS is just about the only thing that has stuck, but was told that my MRI scans have to decline more for an accurate diagnosis. Both spinal taps I had were negative for any virus, bacteria. yes. I have had my thyroid checked as well as pituitary gland and my adrenal glands. Tested for Sjrogen's syndrome, Lyme disease,Lupus, Cushing's, all std's, I have 9 of the 18 "hotspots"(11 needed for full diagnosis) for fybromyalgia and the list goes on. I do agree about the auto-immune thing, I just can't seem to find the right one to match up to me
