1991 July19 Dr. George A. Spinka writes brief clinical history of my MS for NIH
tryptophan study by Dr. David Michaelson. Price Club, now known as Costco, told
NIH of my purchases of tryptophan. Dr. Spinka first saw me Jan '87 when I told
him of optic neuritis in left eye Christmas 1984.
Spinka report stated:
"Sept '97 4 weeks cognitive impairment due to impaired memory, but no difficulty
with problem solving tasks. Electroencephalogram was normal, MRI brain scan revealed
diffuse bilateral supratentorial white matter lesions plus legions in the mid-pons
and left middle cerebrellar pinnacle, concistent with demyelinating disease.
August 1990 numbness in left lower extremity. These symptons completely resolved
within several weeks and no new symptoms since then.
MS remains the best explanation."
