In response to info on MS posted by aidenb:


Hi Aiden---

I just have a couple of questions....I'm wondering how old you and your brother are? How long have you had the numbness and vertigo? With these symptoms and your family history, it might be wise to visit a neurologist. There might not be enough MS "evidence" to diagnose you, but you won't know until you go to the doctor. Neurologists usually use a few criteria to make the diagnosis of MS: physical symptoms, MRI lesions, and possibly a positive spinal tap. I wish for you the courage to just go and get this problem checked out. It might not be MS, but if it is, it's good to get a handle on it.

Let me know what happens.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Gerics
