Actually, I could narrow it down for you with a prior posting:

Wanna post a poll? Go for it! Just be nice.....

Seriously, I had TONS of bloodwork when I first got sick. Nada. Nothing. That is, except for the lovely abnormal LP results.

Doc 1 at this facility I'm at now said he thought maybe my first LP wasn't totally done correctly and that's why he ordered another. He also told me to get a ton of bloodwork done--again--too.

Nada. The only thing that showed a positive was the ANA but there was another titre done and that tested negative.

Chest CT was done to rule out pulmonary lesions, which a lot of MS mimickers have. Nope. Nada on the pulmonary lesions too.

I'm alternative dx free right now. Gotta come up with better than that. I'm thinking MS. And it ain't all in my head---I got a thoracic spine lesion too to consider. It's just getting docs to agree on "hmmm.... I see none" or "Hmmm..... I see one" or "Hmmm..... I see two lesions."

As reasonable neuros can differ in their opinions, so do I with those who don't see any where others saw at least one. And radiologists saw NONE, even with a BIG lesion in the CC.

Maybe I should just hand them MRI cards and tell 'em to "Go FISH!"
