MS diagnosis changed after 7 yrs. ???
Hi, I am new to the site and I just hope someone can give me some advice.
I am female, 47 was diagnosis initially 7 yrs ago with probable MS. I was refered to a Professor of neurology who confirmed that I clinically presented with MS and my neurologist was recommended to commence me on IV cortisone.
I have been on interferons for the past 4 yrs and had to still have IV cortisone for 5 days every 3 or 4 months. I lost my career, my life, my health and much more.
I had to change my neuro as my neuro got ill. This neuro now disputes my diagnosis. He says he cannot see the Dawsons fingers they make mention of on my scan. At first he told me he thought that I had spastic paralytic condition but then he changed my diagnosis to adult onset spina bifida. The excruciating pain in my legs and feet are due to peripheral neuropathy.
He cannot explain the fatigue. He cannot explain my jerking, he cannot explain my dropped foot, he cannot explain my memory problems.
I want to believe I don't have MS but I just don't know.
Any help would be appreciated
