How accurate are these tests? I am schedualed to have one more MRI to completly rule out MS. The other dx listed on report were migraine disorder, lyme's disease or sequela of microvascular angiopathy. I do not have diabetes or hypertension. My biggest complaint at the moment is intermiten blurred vision, memory loss and an over all weakness in my muscles.

Well, Lyme disease can be treated with antibiotics. I'm still suspicous that's what I actually have (4 known tick bites...one associated with a rash) I think I'd rather have Lyme than MS...
I have one doctor (my regular doctor) who is willing to help me investigate the Lyme further, so I need to scrape together the $600 for the test for the 12 or 13 co-infections. I'm having a private lab test me for that, my doctor said he'd draw the blood for me when I'm ready. (what a nice doctor) He's pretty cool, even if he's just humouring me.
