Personally I'd be so much more interested to see your spinal MRIs than your brain MRI. My curiosity is peaked after learning of this chronic sciatica of yours. I would bet you have a herniation(s) at your very lower lumbar vertebrae, where your sciatic nerves exit. When the caude equina is involved you can get many many symptoms. The fact that you had sciatica for over a year with a physical cause highlights my opinion that you have severe musculoskeletal/compression neuropathy/likely disk degeneration issues.
One type of neuropathy is where the nerves have a lack of oxygen because tiny arteries in the nerves themselves are compressed physically AND OR are being constricted by adrenaline and similar vasoconstrictive substances. I think that if you combine a constrictive substance like MDMA+the resulting chronic stress/adrenaline that induces more vasoconstriction with a compression neuropathy like sciatica you could very well achieve some pretty lovely symptoms assuming you induce enough oxygen deprivation for nerve cells to die off, which is very possible. Reduced regeneration of nerve cells post MDMA is another contributing factor.
There are sertotonin receptors on the walls of blood vessels that help regulate vasoconstriction, there is even a drug that works exactly opposite of MDMA developed specifically for vascular migraine. I think a bout of nerve oxygen deprivation could create global symptoms. Both the prior compression (sciatica) and vasoconstriction would be contributing. I should mention that LSD is a cure for many cluster headache suffered because that's how well it constricts the arteries, an MDMA metabolite works the same way.
On some level you seem convinced that it's MS based on the severity of the symptoms, I can't stress enough that standard peripheral neuropathy is a bitch and a half.
I still really think you should sign yourself up for physical therapy and continue progressing through light walking up into doing cardio- it's how you develop now arteries to supply your nerves.
However, if a disk disease is at the root of many of your symptoms, I'm sure you'll be talking with the spinal surgeons soon enough, artificial disk replacement has honestly come a long way. They can go in through the abdomen (pushing the organs aside) and replace the disk with a high rate of success. Then they'll put your ass in physical therapy hopefully
but mind you if you have musculoskeletal dysfunction (like bad posture) that has caused your disk to degenerate then I would prefer you do some physical therapy before the surgery as well.
When's this MRI of yours again?
