You know this really makes me question how bad it would be to administer treatment if it's not really MS. I understand some of the medications can have severe side-effects. But we all know early treatment is best, and yet good luck getting an early dx.

It makes me wish doctors were a bit more open to possibly making the wrong call, over trying to be absolutely positive when the only way is to pretty much rule out EVERYTHING else! If it's looking like a duck and quacking like one to, why not call it a duck for now and continue testing.

How often are those ducks going to species-confused chickens? Once those nerves start demyelinizing there's pretty much nothing that can be done to correct the damage. It's like leaving a rot spot on a tree because you don't know if it's from fungus or damage, are you really going to wait till the tree dies before doing anything?
