he has had over the last year have now come back negative, the neurologist who said it was ms now has to start again with different tests,
has any one any ideas what it could be
he is in constant pain and is tired a lot of the time and is now depressed
Answers:
Has he had an MRI? The etiology is MOST LIKELY neurological. However, I have rheumatoid arthritis, and in the beginning I had all of these symptoms and still get them. My foot gets "pins and needles" and then goes numb and I can't drive because I can't feel how far I am pressing the brake or gas. I get double vision and occassionally tongue-tied when I am in a flare.
I would recommend an MRI, ANA (anti-nuclear antibodies) screen, RF (rheumatoid factor) screen, and look at organic brain diseas, collagen vascular disease, or autoimmune diseases as a possibility.
Good luck and DON'T WAIT. Get another doctor!
