Hi:
Put me in the middle at 54.
It is possible to have neuropathy and MS.
I agree with you sally, any dx would be a blessing.
When I was 52 I was sent to a MS neuro at an MS clinic. Changed my life. While I don't have a dx of MS, just possible MS (because they can't find any other reason for my symptoms), the MS neuro treats my symptoms: Baclofen for spasticity, Amantadine for fatigue, now Lyrica (hoping to switch to Neurontin) for neuropathic pain. I use a cane when necessary, not often enough.
Welcome Nancy.
I fought with the urologist to get urodynamic studies for the same reason you brought up. My bladder doesn't empty completely and sometimes it's hard to 'jump-start'. I wasn't two minutes into the testing before the nurse asked if I had MS. I have a classic "MS bladder".
Undx'dCraig spent a number of years with an MS dx only to have it recinded. I think that is horrible. It must be very difficult to deal with. It's interesting that more of us are experiencing a cluster of symptoms in our late 40's, early 50's and don't have a dx.
Good luck with your tests.
