Kristi, I was dxed solely on the basis of ON and brain lesions to support an MS dx. I never had an LP and passed every other test.

In terms of a dx, it really can depend on the doctor and be somewhat subjective when it comes to history.

thav, can you tell me what was contained in the holistic protocol the doctor gave you?
She has advised me to start taking an Omega 6 (evening primrose oil),B-1 in addition to the b-complex and Omega 3's. One of my friends here locally is a massage therapist and I'm going to give her a call. Other than that I take opiates for pain and she gave me something if anxiety gets the best of me.
We had a discussion about the different meds ( Copaxane,Rebif etc...) and is hesitant to get me started on a treatment plan with those untill I get to the MS specialist.
I really feel in the bottom of my heart that this started back in 1998 with the vertigo and a migraine that lasted for months,along with muscle spasms. I felt completely fatigued but then found I had Graves disease so I chalked everything up to that.
Quick follow up question,(maybe I should ask in a seperate thread) What do you know about the effects of diet soda and MS? Someone told me that it can make MS symptoms worse. Thoughts?
