My MRI showed "some narrowing" that "might be causing symptoms".
My rheumatologist would like to get me evaluated by a neurologist.
I'm not really surprised that it is not a herniated disk or something like that. If it were, the shooting pains would be a bit less wide-spread, more specific to the segments of the spine that were involved. I've gotten shooting pains in all fingers, not just 2/3 of them, all toes, arms, legs, torso, you name it.
I was still hoping for something more conclusive, though.
In the mean time, I learn that the Lyme ELISA was negative, but the western blot was positive. My follow up appointment isn't even until December 10th with that practice.
If you thought it was hard to find a good doctor when it comes to thyroid disease... nothing compared to this whole mess regarding Lyme disease.
There is a lot of controversy about this Lyme disease. I'm going to have to do some more reading.

In one point in their life, 75% will deal with a form of Grave's Disease. It is imperative to spread the awareness and extend the medical research of this disease. As I read through your website, I noticed that your organization shares the same passion for awareness within Grave's Disease, that we do here, at Disease.com. Disease.com is a website which is dedicated to the preventions and treatments for all diseases. In order to spread the awareness of this disease, we ask if you could please list us as a resource or host our social book mark button; it would be much appreciated. We can not allow 3 out of 4 women to suffer, so lets spread the awareness. If you want more information on that please email me back with the subject line as your URL
