Only a neuro who specializes in MS can work with you on this. That was my mistake many years ago. I just saw neurologists. None who specialized in MS. I got the typical, "she has depression, there's nothing else wrong with her" and was put on anti d's and sent home. That happened for a long time until I went to an MS neuro who did the right testing and the right MRI's WITH contrast and really looked at me and did the right kind of in office testing. Of course your stressed. Duh!! We all are when there's something wrong and we don't know what it is, especially if we fear its MS. There's a lot of things to be ruled out first before a dx of MS can be confirmed, and a lot of things to fall into the McDonald criteria before a dx can be confirmed. It can take a long time, or it can take no time at all. Big thing is, you need the right kind of doctor. Sorry this is so long, but you need to be steered in the right direction when you are just starting out. Be patient, don't give up, don't let them tell you its all in your head! Its a cliché, but you are your best advocate. Only you know your body, only you can speak for yourself. If the doc isn't listening to you, move on. There's a lot of warriors here with a lot of experience and a lot of hugs to go around. Don't ever hesitate to come and talk, or vent or just need hugs. We are here for you. ![]()
