Will do. I was concered due to going to the emergency room in may of 2015 and being told i had ms. My doctor ruled that out based upon the results of the mri and my medical history. The pain in my head is like a mingraine, with dull shooting numbing pain and in my ears. I also have very bad allergies, which reqiured a cortezone shot. My doctor also told me the mri showed deep sinus issues.

Brief Answer:
Auto immune diseases are extremely uncommon in males.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.

We can get vitamin b 12 only from non vegetable food like fish, liver, eggs etc.
So if you are vegetarian than vitamin b12 deficiency is likely in you.
So please let me know if you are vegetarian.
And why you think like having auto immune diseases?
These diseases are extremely uncommon in males and presentation is different.
Have you ever checked for auto immune diseases?

Brief Answer:
No need to worry for auto immune diseases.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should not worry about auto immune diseases because it is having all together a different presentation.
Common symptoms for auto immune diseases are joint pain, skin lesions like rashes, ulcers, mucosal lesions like oral ulceration, kidney involvement etc.
So possibility of auto immune diseases is less in your case.
But if you want to remove the fear than get done serum ANA level. If this is negative than no need to worry for auto immune diseases.
What kind of stress you are having? Is it work related, family related, relationship related?

Methylprednisolome is oral steroid. I don't know why it was given for your head symptoms.
