thav, I am glad you're going to an MS specialist.

Kristi, I was dxed solely on the basis of ON and brain lesions to support an MS dx. I never had an LP and passed every other test. No apparent "flares" other than what I was going through when I had ON and although there were things in my past that in retrospect definitely could have been MS related, there was/is no way to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

In terms of a dx, it really can depend on the doctor and be somewhat subjective when it comes to history.

thav, can you tell me what was contained in the holistic protocol the doctor gave you?
