My daughter who has CD and has been GF for three years just had an MRI
and found that in the last 5 years (she had another MRI in 1995) has
developed three brain lesions on the white matter in her brain.  The
doctor told her they are not tumors and could be anyone of 20 different
things.  They will not see her again until the end of August and of
course she is very upset.  She has been feeling very bad lately with
weakness, tingling sensations that appear all over her body, jumping
from one place to another, (the doctor says that doesn't make any sense
to him and that he has never heard of it, that if is were anything it
would be in a straight line and consistently in the same limb or area).
She also has blurring of vision, but an eye exam indicates she has the
healthiest eyes the doctor ever for an adult.  The problem is that the
neurologists don't seem to care about how much stress this is putting on
her not to have any information for a 6 weeks.  I am not asking for
medical information, only experiences of others.  Have any of you had a
similar experience or any such symptoms?  I am wondering about anemia,
because she is anemic.

It seems as if "if it isn't one thing, it's something else all the time.
