Sorry for all your problems. I have had only one lesion for ten years now and have a diagnosis of probable MS. That is an actual diagnosis. I have been on Avonex for all of those ten years and am now on disability. I have all of the clinical symptoms, protein in LP was only slightly elevated. But I have a very sympathetic neuro. I feel very blessed that I am treated with the same respect that a person with MS is. Good luck tomorrow. Come back and let us know what happened.

Hi Shanda and welcome to Neurotalk! Sorry you're having these difficulties getting a diagnosis, but it seems to be a fairly common occurence when dealing with MS. Sometimes it takes years for a positive.

I've had problems finding the right neurologist for me too. It's really important to feel comfortable with him/her and build that trust and ability to communicate.

Not much help, but just wanted to stop by and say hello. We're here for you, so let us know what happens tomorrow. Good luck!

Hi and welcome:

Sounds like you have had a rough time lately.

It also sounds like you need a new neuro. It does take a while to get a firm dx of MS sometimes.

May I suggest that if you are in the market for a neuro that you try to get to an MS clinic? They have great supports in place to help you through the rough times diagnosed or not.

All the best,
