Hi Dixie, Welcome!

It drives me nuts when I hear that neuros won't diagnose MS unless they see specific MRI evidence. MRIs are supposed to support a diagnosis, not be the "be all and end all" final word. There IS other criteria. Maybe your doctor could be more clear as to why you're not fitting this profile....

I'm sorry you're having to go through this... :-/
