Hi there! Sorry for the reason, but glad you found us.

Totally understand what you're feeling. I have MS coming from both sides of my family (which I've heard is rare). My paternal grandmother had it and my mother had it. From everything I've read thus far, there is only a slight increase of probability if there is another family member with it.

I agree with making sure all the testing gets done. Even with typical MS stuff on my MRI's, my neuro did the process of elimination prior to giving me my diagnosis. Took a year and a half to get it, and that was mainly because I had back to back changes on my scans and test results didn't fit anything else. As to the MRI, was it the brain only or have you had one of the spine/neck as well? May be worth mentioning.

I agree with at least getting some relief for your symptoms. Talk to your doc about that.
