Hi Trinkeet,
Welcome to NT. Nice to meet you. I, too, had the Dawson's fingers on MRI, the shape was Ovoid and they lit up from the GAD dye they used. But that was many, many, years after I was diagnosed with MS.

When I was diagnosed they didn't have MRI's, just LP's and rule out tests. It was my clinical exam that clinched it. I had a CT scan but I doubt that was useful other than to look for brain problems or tumors.

My symptoms, history, and clinical exam by a MS specialist Dx'd me in 1981. I was three years in Limbo until then while they tested. It takes time.

Do you live in the USA? Your testing sounds like the procedures of Socialized medicine.

Many people have negative LP's too. It's up to the Neuro to call it. If he/she is not 100 percent sure, than you have to wait and see a bit longer. Sorry.

We have many here in Limbo. Join us on the MS front page and introduce yourself on a New thread here and many will help and reply to you.
