Hello,

Recently a friend of mine was given some tests by her doctor and
was diagnosed as having multiple sclerosis.  Before the tests she
had some symptoms (like a vague tingling feeling in her
extremities) but after the tests she has serious trouble with
coordination and balance (she can barely walk).  Her doctor denies
that the tests had anything to do with it.  The tests were Visual
Evoked potentials, Auditory Evoked potentials and Somatosensory
evoked potentials.

If any of you out there can give me any information on unusual
reactions to these tests,I'd really appreciate it.   My friend is
having a hard time getting information from more conventional
sources.  Thanks in advance for any information that you think
could help her.

Hello,
I just saw my previous post, and would like to apologies in advance to 
anyone offended by my .signature.  I realize that it might not be well
received in this group.  The "humor" was intended to be logical, not
medical.
