I couldn't even hold up a newspaper to read. Tremendous neck pain and eyeball pain. Went to a chiropractor who wouldn't even treat me because of all my symptoms. He referred me to a neurologist. By then, I knew it was either a brain tumor or multiple sclerosis.
Symptoms are very similar.
After seeing many drs. on East Coast, all suggested radiation - a few suggested rad. I was on dex for 18 mths. It took this long because whenever I was weaned down, symptoms would develop again. So steroids would be increased. I was miserable on steroids.
