hi tribes,
if you've seen 3 neuros i would think that if it was ALS they would have picked it up. have you had any mri's? MS is a process of elimination.
when i was getting dx'd my dr did lab work & i had mri's of my c-spine & brain (with & without contrast). i had lesions & with my PE (physical exam) i got dx'd (diagnosed).
drs use something called the McDonald Criteria when dx'ing MS. you can google it.
you are your own best advocate. don't give up looking for answers but try not to let it consume you. being in control gives you personal power. but, being fearful less so. no one, ill or healthy can look into the future. try to take 1 day or 1 wk at at time & deal with that.
keep a symptom journal with dates & what sx's you have. it's kind of a mini hx of yourself & may be helpful.
keep us posted. we're here for you.
