I think Cricket might be in that first group. She has sx, has had a lot of tests and all she wants is just to have a dx so she can get the respect from the medical world that goes along with it.

Fortunately for me, my neuro gave me a dx of probable MS so I can get the treatment I need. Her and I have talked about the fact that after 10 years, most of the sx are the same and the MRI is exactly the same, just one big ol' bad lesion. So is it still probable MS. But she is content to stay with that dx until something else shows up. So I am content also.

Good luck Cricket.
