I agree with cyn. Self dx'ing can be a dangerous thing. It can put all kinds of things in your mind. You could connect yourself to almost any illness. Look up pain in head, and you'll connect with anything from a typical headache to a brain anuerysom (sp?). Look up sore toe and you get anything from hang nail to gangriene. You have a pcp and a neuro? Keep a log of whats going on with you symptom wise. Many things mimic MS. Over 100 things mimic it, so it can be a long drown out process of illimination. Some folks take years for a dx, and others it comes right away. Do yourself a favor and stay away from self dx'ing. You could be doing yourself more harm than good.
