i agree too. a 2nd opinion would be a good move.
you seem to have a good handle on your conditions.
keep a sx journal. it's helpful to see what's happening over time.

and, start keeping copies of your files; dr visits, mri's, lab results.
if you see other drs it's a good idea to have your records.
and, if you ever apply for ssdi you'll need your records.

good luck. please keep us posted.

Wow, bummer on top of bummers. What are they doing about the cyst? or is that not really a problem? I find it odd and interesting that you had NO sx at all before your accident? Not even in retrospect? (Looking back, I had MS-type sx for 3-5 years or more before my dx, but put them down to my chronic depression, menopause, aging, etc.) How did the accident happen? Was there a dizzy episode?

My assumption is you landed on cement or similar. What kind of research have you done re head trauma injuries? Have you seen a specialist in that area? Though the lesions rule out head trauma as the total cause of your sx, I would guess some of your sx may be related to the concussion and could be very slow to recover. I don't know much about head trauma, but I'd be researching that as well.

I hope you start improving soon, even if you don't get a definitive dx for some time. You know, of course, some here have waited months or years for a dx one way or another of MS. I know it ain't easy, but I'd concentrate on doing what I could to move around better and not so much on the cause of it all. Stress will send MS symptoms into high gear. Relaxation is truly key.
