My First Neuro, in 1975, who became a renown Neuro/surgeon, hesitated in giving me a deffinate DX of MS. He said that all the tests showed that I have a demylinating disease and that it is, most likely MS, but he hated to give that DX, because people and Health Ins cos, would run scared.

At that time he thought it was mild and that I could go into a long remission....which I did (17yrs). So, of course I went into deniel until 1992, when MS raised it's ugly head again and confirmed, that I did indeed, have MS, confirmed by my 1st Neuro's, then, Partner and now, in 1992, she, was the head of Neurology of a big hospital....(small world)

So, Dej, it just goes to prove that , even the finest Docs don't like to jump on MS, until absolutely sure and I was a classbook case of MS..
