Hi Tony and welcome!

As I tell tons of folks there are more than 100 diseases that can mimic MS including the brain lesions. its always best to seek out an MS center to start with, as they are experts are ruling things in or out. These things can run the gamit from VitB def to Lupus, Lyme and Sjoghrens. The experts will take your bowl of symptoms and start ruling the easy ones out. Check a blood test for the Vitamin stuff. then lupus/lyme markers, then inflammatory markers...when they boil it down to what it isnt, they will be left with a hand full of what it could bes. Most of what will be left cannot be proven by blood test or other stuff. its simply a "its most likely" style diagnosis.

Its a long process for many to get diagnosed, even with some very clear, very loud symptoms. Please seek an MD that specializes in MS and they can help you get a better grip on the stuff. Keep a journal! record your daily symptoms. Make sure you keep track of whom you have seen and what were their best guesses. If you feel an MD is dismissing you or making you feel like you are whining, fire him! and move on.

I hope you find the answers that you seek.
