About two weeks ago I wrote on this forum about strange symptoms that started after I got sick with night sweats, fatigue and cough. These symptoms have gotten worse and as I wait for the results of a brain MRI that I did today, I ask for your help so I can be prepared for what's to come. My...
Hi there... I've been in a whirlwind of docs/testing since May and wanted to see if someone could shed some light on a few things. I began with slurring words back in feb/march this year and saw a Neuro that said it was merely stress from a horrible divorce I was going through. Saw another Neuro...
