If this has been going on for many years, and if it is MS, then lesions are very likely to show in a MRI by now.

They are usually looking for one of two ways for MS to present itself:

1. a history of flare-ups (relapses) of new or worsening symptoms . . . followed by remission.

2. a progressive down-hill slide of accumulating symptoms. (NOTE: this categoy of MS is relatively rare, and most often found in men)

From what you've said, you've had basically the same symptoms that have not let up, but not too many new symptoms have occurred. This doesn't point to MS, by usual assessment techiques . . . even though the symptoms you have do sound very similar to what we experience.

It is definitely worth having a MRI at this point. It MAY be CFS/Fb, but I think it's time for a new evaluation.
