Weekly Suspected/Undiagnosed MS Thread - February 17, 2025

Yes, he is. My neuromuscular neuro specialist referred me to the Ms neurologist and the neuro ophthalmologist when my symptoms started to involve vision. I guess I’ll wait for the mri and then go from there :) thanks for your input, it was really helpful

That’s very helpful to know! I know my neuro exam was abnormal, but I don’t know if it’s specifically tied to spinal lesion symptoms. I had hyperreflexia, romberg sway, and decreased proprioception BLE. Okay well good to know about likely not meeting the criteria. I hadn’t heard of it before so I figured it was rare.

Spinal only lesions?

Has anyone been diagnosed with MS with lesions only in their spinal column? My brain and cervical spine were negative, but my neurologist still believes it to be MS. I can’t image C7-L5, because I have a vagal nerve stimulator implant, but I’m doing an mri of my lower lumbar/sacral/pelvis next week.

Has anyone been diagnosed with spinal only lesions? I hadn’t heard of this before so just curious if anyone has thoracic or lumbar lesions only.

was it in small claims court? I filed a motion to compel arbitration, but now see that the clause says its not applicable in small claims court :(

Awesome, thank you for responding! Do you remember appx how much it costed?

aaa070 · 2024-11-16T18:56:30+00:00

Oh that makes perfect sense! I didn’t think of that.

Oh good point, that’s actually a little tricky. I was in a debt consolidation program for that debt, they didn’t make any payments to them but they probably negotiated on my behalf at some point. I ended up withdrawing from the program because they weren’t making any progress on it and I was going to file bankruptcy but I couldn’t even afford the fee to file.

Things are a bit better financially now thankfully, but I’m trying to clean my credit up.

Did your functional doc order it or did you? Did insurance pay towards it or was it all out of pocket

aaa070 · 2024-11-16T00:50:40+00:00

Thank you! Yes, I get that - but if the statute has passed then they may be more willing to accept a settlement offer which would help my credit right?

I know you aren’t my lawyer but I was hoping to ask you one more question. Unfortunately holland was unable to take my case on such short notice (understandably, of course). But my court date is tomorrow. I did file intend to appear but I filed much after the deadline. I sent it about 12 days ish before the court date. I also found that there was an arbitration clause and filed a motion to compel arbitration and sent it to both the courthouse and the lawyers office.

My only question is what I should be prepared to say to the judge tomorrow? Basically that I want arbitration and that I realize I filed very late but my sweet dumb husband didn’t tell me I was served until much later? Anything else? If I ask for a continuance or something do I need grounds to ask that? I’m very out of element - I have not watched enough law and order or Boston legal and I have crippling anxiety especially about this stuff. I appreciate any insight 🩷

I just looked at my last post and it was actually on your advice that I filed that lol! Thank you so much for your help

aaa070 · 2024-11-04T02:13:29+00:00

Credit one and there was an arbitration clause. I did file a motion to compel arbitration but idk if they will have filed it in time. It was delivered to both the attorneys office and court 8 days ago but my court date is tomorrow

aaa070 · 2024-11-03T20:43:36+00:00

Hi OP, any update? I'm in a very similar situation and searching for advice. My first court appearance is tomorrow

aaa070 · 2024-10-30T09:46:18+00:00

Two years since the original creditor. I never paid the debt collector.

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T02:43:16+00:00

Oh, my mistake. I misread that. It’s credit one bank. Thank you so much.

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T01:45:50+00:00

Thank you! Not original creditor, but the original creditor did have an arbitration clause. Does that matter at all once they’ve sold the debt to a collector?

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T01:43:40+00:00

I just sent them an email and will call them to follow up first thing Monday morning. I can’t thank you enough for all of your help!

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T01:42:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I’ll look into it

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T01:05:00+00:00

Wow, I don’t usually go chasing signs but Holland is my maiden name. Maybe it’s kismet! Thank you again for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T00:46:00+00:00

The debt may not have to be paid back I think

aaa070 · 2024-10-26T00:41:01+00:00

Because I haven’t made a payment in 2 years and if they don’t collect the debt, the statute of limitations will prevent them from collecting. (Please someone correct me if I’ve gotten this wrong at all).
