So here I am on the site I intended it for.....
Back after a year or so...

I have no dx, I have had symptoms for just over 2 years on and off. I had a really good last 14 months, but in the last 2 weeks my old sx have come back badly again, (left side heaviness, tingles, nerve pain) and now I've got new ones. (dizzy, loss of balance when I turn or move my head.)

Of course my question for the last 2 years is "is it MS or not?".

I saw my GP last week who said I'd better go back to the neuro for another MRI. (She ruled out a stroke and ear problems)

My other 2 MRI's were clear 2 years ago, so the neuro kind of nicely sent me on my way as she couldn't come up with a dx of anything. VER also clear. No spinal tap done. All bloods clear. Stress perhaps?

I don't have eye problems though?

Shouldn't any lesions have shown up when I have the first MRI 2 years ago?

Seeing the neuro on Tuesday. As this is a second flare up of sx's, does it hold greater 'weight'?

Any honest thoughts would be appreciated!

My concern is if it is MS, and I don't get a dx, I can't start on meds?
