Welcome to NeuroTalk, Bellsandcandles.

MS is difficult to diagnose because it mimics so many other conditions. It's just a process of elimination.

Your symptoms sound like some of the symptoms of MS but they also sound much like other conditions, too.

Testing will eliminate some and confirm others. When you have your MRI done make sure they do it with and without contrast. I've never understood why doctors do MRI's without taking the time to use contrast. It's really a waste of time and money when they do.

Once you have your testing done you can post your results here for other opinions. While no one here can offer medical advice we can offer understanding and practical suggestions.
