Thanks, mrsD, for the info. I, too, had alot of blood tests during the diagnostic process of MS. I think they try and get an overall feel for your entire health so as to eliminate any underlying problems that might present as symptoms of MS.

MS is difficult to diagnose much of the time and is often the result of a process of elimination.
