Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. I am in a bit of confusion here. I have seen both a neurologist and a rheumatologist, along with my family physician.
Doctors still say they can find nothing.
I started off at the rheumatologist, and was referred to the neurologist after having two fingers go numb upon awakening. I need to know what kind of doctor to see, because I want to find a clinic somewhere in the US that is THE BEST for that type of problem. Thank you for any help you can send my way. In summary therefore the significance of ANA depends very much on the context and in your case it is a very weak link to MS, if taken in isolation. MS tends to be sporadic , coming on with clear cut attacks of weakness or numbness affecting one side of the body or often one leg, the symptoms are clear cut and constant over days to weeks and then resolve.
