Hi Julie!
I just wanted to let you know that I don't think that any of us are dismissing you.
We just want you to look at the big picture and try to use all of the avenues available to you so that you can find out what
is wrong.
There are so many things that "look" like MS.
He!!, sometimes I still think I
don't have MS even with a diagnosis from an MS specialist and the lousy mri's to prove it

.
For one thing, you
don't want to be put on a DMD without a pretty positive dx. I can tell you that my experience in the last 9 months since my diagnosis has been awful. That is putting it very lightly LOL.
Not everyone has problems with the DMD's but I've had nothing but
more problems since I was on Copaxone and Avonex. Sometimes you feel like you've been poisoning yourself on purpose

.
Just think about all of your options. I think most of us, especially, newly-diagnosed MS'ers and limbo'ers benefit from therapy. Even our close family members benefit from it.
Hope your day is better today!
