This is way over my head and very confusing. But I did want to jump in and say Quix was so helpful in encouraging me to continue to look for an answer in my situation.

The medical part of the information is out of my realm of understanding but the time line and other suggestions she gave helped guide me in the right direction.

I had Optic Neuritis, an abnormal MRI, other symptoms, and a family history of MS. Yet two of the three neurologists said it was not MS.

The 3rd neurologist I saw was an MS specialist and I was diagnosed the first time I saw this doctor and started on DMD's. She was outraged about the fact that the other two neurologists just passed me by.

Quix gave me the courage and knowledge I needed to make sure I got the attention I needed. I did not know for sure that I had MS before I went to the MS specialist, but I knew I had SOMETHING going on.

Anyway, thanks Quix for all you are doing!
