Default Hello, possible MS here?

Hi everyone,
I'm glad to have found your board. I saw a neuro coming up on two weeks ago for dizziness/loss of balance, numbness/weakness in my right hand, double vision, fatigue and some other symptoms. Because I've had hand numbness before the doc was quick to suspect MS. I had an MRI that day. It indicated one small 'spot' on the brain stem, so the doctor decided that it was probably something else and that the blood work would be very telling. We waited out the blood work, which was all normal. Because there's no other obvious culprit, the doctor has ordered a VEP for Wednesday (again suspecting MS), so I'm in limbo right now. Eeeek.

Has anyone been this road before? The maybe-well maybe not-well maybe process? It's infuriating, especially given how terribly awful I feel. I have 3 kids to care for, and I'm doing a generally awful job at it right now. I came to this forum because I feel this is where I will end up, and since the members here have so much wisdom to share, I'd love any and all advice.

Thanks so much,
Kristin
