Same here Sally, well sort of. The MRI was very new, there were 2 MRIs in the entire state. I had a brain MRI without contrast - contrast wasn't even used at that time, it was clear. I did not have a spine MRI.

I had a LP (positive for o-bands) and right after the LP was a Myleogram (negative), bloodwork, VEP, and x-rays.

I was dx'd based on the positive LP, symptoms and neuro exam.

I think there is too much emphasis placed on the MRI when many were dx'd with MS before the MRI came on the scene.

BTW - My diagnosis has never been in dispute.
