Question: Hi I have pin prick rash I also have a temp headache and glands is up more at one side of neck I have a cough and have now been priscribed steroids I also have small courless spots on the roof of my mouth . The crash started on Wed and the other symptoms at start of week . I have a young daughter who is 2 and she has had a bad cough for weeks . She takes home a lot of viruses bacterial infection s . Because my immune system Is weak I seem to be catching one thing after another. I took a relapse back in Dec last year and never recovered properly leaving left side weakness and tremor fatigue . When I get a viruses or bacteria it makes the underlying condition worse also . Fatigue mobility tremor balance all increase . Yesterday I was feeling very confused I couldn't verbalize what I wanted to say . I found this very distressing . I'm worried Bout the rash as I don't tend to get many rashes .

Hi there rheumatoid as been ruled out I have done all Ana and ra etc . Only thing left could be is ms or vasculitis does it look like a vasculitis rash ? I can't get any help for my condition here . They only prescribed me 30mg of oral steroid . As my breathing is also affected and my throat feels quite closed . My first attack was at 13 years old paralysed arm lasted about a day dr said migraine so mother accepted and trusted the doctor . Just under 2 years later another attack that put me in ambulance my speech non coherent my vision went grey with squares . Vertigo .i was walking into doors and walls and vomiting . I got left no scans nothing they told me confusing migraine and said clinically isolated event this was recorded on my notes . Nothing was done .I accepted the doctor s diagnoses and continued to have attacks at home I would get about 2 a year's sometimes I had facial pain it was so bad I couldn't do anything but scream and put ice on it . Because it only lasted a day or so I just went on with my life . Then I had other attacks similar numbness in face and other time tingling etc these attacks I could not do anything but lay in bed thinking I was going to die . Because they were short lived I didn't go back to doctor . I then went to my gp with tremor and back pain fatigue age 18 this was the start of the illness .now I get relapses flares that last about 6 weeks but they affect me pain memory stiffness tremor balance blurry vision . I can't go out when I get these. It takes me a long time to recover I feel I'm getting worse not bouncing back the same as I used to I have more mobility issues . I believe they have not caught my diagnoses at a young age and I'm suffering terribly now . It started age 13 I'm now 35 over the years I have had spells where I feel better then it comes back again . Could you give me your opinion please I dint want to suffer any longer without medication I feel I require ..kind regards XXXXXXX

I have had a Mri done of spine and brain but without contrast in 2008 I did have t2 hperintense lesions they said non specific what does this mean ? I also had evoke potentials and I had a slow nerve from brain to leg again they give me no explanation. I have suffered terribly with this illness for over 20 years without medical help . I get great pain and discomfort . I don't have much of a life I spend most my time at home as when the fatigue hits usually around 2 pm is debilitating . The fatigue can happen at any time though . While in flare relapse it's there constantly . Because this is over 20 years I have lived with it.

Hi Dr thank you for your information. I have had a lumbar puncture dine but this wasn't till 2008 and my first symptoms was 1993 . This was negative no bands . Can this result change in time. Also wouldnt it make sense for my neurologist to give me a second scan to see if there dissemination time and space ?do I have to have the bands to have ms ?
