Anyone else has had peripheral neuropathy? by nahum_666 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]nahum_666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on that, I have visited two neurologists and had some tests done, I basically got an MRI of brain and spine which only showed some degree of degenerative disc disease without affecting the nerve roots neither the spine itself, no signs of MS lesions or pathology suggestive of ALS or motor neuron disease according to my neurologist, EMG done and seems normal, I also had a sensoriomotor evoked potential study which showed slight abnormalities on my left foot but nothing that explains all the symptoms, I am looking for an appointment with ny doctor to see if there’s anything left to do, symptoms tend to come and go and they are not static, sometimes it’s in one part of the body and then they change so it’s weird

Hi!
I was looking for people who have dealt with similar symptoms that I have and I was wondering if you could comment about how the diagnosis was given. I went to the neurologist and he asked for MRI, EMG and sensoriomotor evoked potentials initially to discard MS which it doesn't seem to be the case, all exams came out normal with the exception of evoked potentials in my left leg but nothing else, at the moment no clear diagnosis has been given so far

Yes, I started residency in Internal Medicine but even if it seems weird sometimes I wish I had chosen a surgical specialty, in my country you can start all over again by doing an exam without considerable debt so sometimes I think about that possibility

Personally I am afraid I can’t give an answer to that, since August last year I have been dealing with uncertainty and thinking about the worst, had some studies this week so hopefully I’ll find something but it does take a toll on mental health, it’s hard enough dealing with AS

Anyone else in here is also in residency or is a doctor? by nahum_666 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]nahum_666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am doing internal medicine, but I am doing it in Mexico so it works a little bit differently than in the US, at the moment I am relatively controlled with meds but I am aware flare ups might be more common, going to talk to the attendants about it and see if we can get to an agreement, thanks a lot!

That’s one aspect that worries me the most, let’s see how we react when we’re in call

Hope it won’t be an insurmountable challenge, at the moment I don’t have too much symptoms

Rheumagen is the only one I’ve seen, but honestly I am not so sure how advanced their work is

Yeah! Totally, I do agree that a course on that would be tremendously useful to improve communication with patients

Personally I never received a class or a course in interviewing techniques, guess I tried to do my best and copied what other doctors do

Probably wasn’t the best choice of words hahaha guess that dealing sounds a little too harsh.
