Thanks for that link Cherie. That is so sad, but it depicts exactly what I was talking about. We have many people here in Limbo, and a good many more lurkers. I do not want to detract in any way from anybody who remains undiagnosed and that person's symptoms, and I really do hope that most people do not end up with the MS diagnosis (or anything worse).....but.....at the same time, I could well imagine people associating with a list of descriptive symptoms from any site, and that could sure muddy the waters for a doctor trying his or her hardest to find a correct diagnosis.
Please ..... Limbo Landers....no offence intended.
