Brief Answer:
Be patient
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.
The symptoms that you are experiencing are due to those "cluster" cells in your brain and these might well be related to the history of MS that you had earlier.
Other neurological conditions also need a consideration and need to be ruled out.
As you said,i will wait for the MRI reports before commenting further on this.
Neuro visit seems to be still a month away and if you feel that the symptoms are gradually worsening,then you should try and get a earlier date or contact ER.
Continue taking the supplements that you have been taking.
You can take iv fluids with multivitamins till then.
I hope the answer was useful.
Upload the MRI reports as soon as you get them.
Thank you.
Kind regards.
