You are a case in point

Each symptom is different for everyone. And then, the severity of each symptom is different as well.

Then you can add the different doctors and the various tests that they will run (or not).

I strongly suggest to you that you find a neurologist that is well versed in MS and all that implies.

Once you find that doctor, work together to treat *your* MS.

For me... during my 6-month visits to my neuro., we go through the normal muscle strength tests. I always laugh at that.

The reason is this:

During my first appt. with him, we started with the "grab my fingers and squeeze as hard as you can" exercise.

When I did that, his eyes went wide with noticeable pain.

That was about 6 years ago. We still go through that, but I now ask before: "are you ready?" He takes a deep breath and then nods okay.

Muscle weakness is not a symptom I have. I hope never to have.


I wish you well!!!
