I can no longer drive due to the dizziness and I only manage to make it to work, one or two days a week. The rest of the week is spent laying in bed wishing that i could find somebody that doesn't think i am nuts.

My current neurologist says that because MRI shows no lesions and my spinal tap doesn't show abnormal protiens that I do not have MS. He says that I have fybromailgia (to explain the muscle fatigue and pain), narcolepsy (to explain the numbness), and some sort of heart problem ( to explain dizziness).

I am so frustrated. There is only so long that employer will continue to pay my salary with out me being there. I have 4 daughters that I have always raised on my own. I have had to move in with my mother and step-father in order to survive. I sure wish there was some way for the doctors to be able to detect MS earlier. Thanks for listening to my rambling!
