Neurologist: Since your scattered neurologic symptoms are not explainable by one lesion and in view of your young age, I'm concerned about a demyelinating disorder like multiple sclerosis. A brain ct scan is not as effective as an MRI of the brain for detecting MS. I recommend consulting a neurologist for evaluation. Appropriate testing will be carried out.

Hi, I woke up one morning with left arm numbness from the elbow down with hand weakness and wrist drop. My doctor ordered a head CT and neck MRI to rule out anything life threatening. It turned out to be Saturday night palsy. How long to recover?

Can cold sore or HSV spread all over body? I believe a kiss on face, neck, shoulders has affected me. It has now spread further down to arms, legs, scalp, eye, ear & more after 3 months and won't stop spreading. Could i have an immune system issue?
