Mysterious Symptoms?

[wallyg]

CMI is commonly mistaken for Multiple Sclerosis because its symptoms are so similar. As with MS, symptoms of CMI usually appear in women between the ages of 20 - 40. Both conditions include neck pain, pressure in the neck, frequent headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, difficulty with motor skills, numbness, balance problems and muscle weakness. Patients are often diagnosed with MS, based on symptoms alone, even though testing of bodily fluids have provided no definitive diagnosis. Therefore, minimal CMI should be considered a possibility in MS patients when a diagnosis has been made based solely on symptoms.
