Hang in there kiddo, a dx of MS can take a long time. Like Dejibo said, there's lots of other diseases that mimic MS and have to be ruled out. MRI's, CT's, pokes here, pokes there, you'll say to yourself, "did they leave me enough blood to live?!?!" I know I did. I saw over 10 neuro's before I finally went to a MS specialist. Every regular neuro will interpret things differently. Someone who truely specializes in MS, will not waver. One neuro said I had it, then the next said no, it was just a flaw in the film, the next said yes, next said I was only suffering from depression and migraines... You are your best advocate. Dont give up and dont accept things like "its all in your head"! I was dx at 22, and had sx in high school as far as maybe 16 or alittle earlier. Stick with this crowd, they're a great bunch of eggs
