so I saw the neuro again yesterday. Found out the bad spasms and contstant muscle tightness and discomfort is because I am low in potassium and magnesium, as well as sodium. Gotta start taking yet another pill and adding ceratin things to my diet - no biggie.

Anyway I have a stupid question - do I, or do I not, officially have a diagnosis of MS? The last several places I have been (wound clinic, MD offices, and radiology) all ask the same basic stuff (name, social etc, medications, etc) and then say "So you have epilepsy and MS..." Heck, even my neuro's nurse said it yesterady when she was going over my meds and any complaints or concerns! I just said I do??? She quickly stammered and said she could be mistaken and apologized.

I thought the neuro said he was holding off on declaring yes, I do have MS as 1) it had ramifications on insurance and 2)there was a possibility that it could be something else neuro related. He said I was "highly probable" which was a step up from being "possibe MS".

I feel so niave and friggin ignorant- I forgot to ask him outright if I was now 'official' as we got off on the whole deficiency thing and talking about his impending vacation & my upcoing cruise. I do not see him again for 6 months.

So, do I, or don't I, have an official diagnosis of MS (and someone just forgot to tell me...)
