M.S. is a time consuming disease to determine, but the criteria for the diagnosis is pretty straight forward. Try to find an M.S. specialist if you can. You need to feel comfortable with the diagnosis. Make sure they check your vitamin B12 level too.

And with that said....

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

I am on my second neurologist who does not want to say ms, but the tests show lesions on the brain, vit D and B12 deficiency and my face is numb and tingly like little shocks, I have fatique and am stiff and in pain, my memory is shot, I am turning 60 next week, I still work, thank God my job is not hard and is only part time. I have like body jerks in my hands and legs at times, they ruled out everything under the sun. Now they just took a blood test Sat and said it is to diagnos ms? Well, we will see I am giving up hope of a diagnosis although my pc states it is. My neuro does not want to do the lumbar puncture even though the insurance ok'd it? Life goes on lol
