Many neurological conditions are difficult to dx. I originally had stroke-like symptoms, which were dx as a probable stroke. However, my neuro was cautious, and said, "Lots of things look like a stroke."
A trip to Mayo Clinic later, many possible and probable dx later (lyme disease, encephalytis, vasculitis, CNS Lupus, etc.), many new and different and odd symptoms later, many MRI's and other tests later, and almost 2 years later, I was dx with Multiple Sclerosis.
I am grateful that my neurologist did not rush to a dx, which may have been incorrect.
Consider going to a university med center, or a place like Mayo Clinic. An ER is not qualified to give you a dx after a few hours.
