Holly - I love the way you tell it as it is!
I was diagnosed with ADEM, which I understand to be a similar diagnosis to that of CIS, and despite having had two "occurrences" involving different symptoms, spaced by a year and brain lesions.
May be doctors think their patients would not be able to handle a firm diagnosis of MS. As far as I am concerned this is a misapprehension. It would be much better to have a diagnoses of MS than one that is clearly incorrect!
