That's exactly what I was saying! If a doctor said I didn't really have MS, would I end up with something worse? Or end up in eternal limbo, unable to work, feeling lousy, and saying to my friends and family "Yes, I'm really sick, but no, they don't know what's wrong with me."

I already spent a couple of years lying there at night crying and thinking "What is WRONG with me? Am I nuts?" I'd sure hate to go back to that.

Right, when they tell you it's all in your head and that you need to see a psychiatrist, you doubt yourself and the fact that your body is telling you that there is definitely something wrong. It does make you cry, and it does make you think maybe you are a little nuts.

Even after nearly 20 years with a diagnosis, I still find myself wondering at times if this is really what they say it is. But, most of the time, in my heart and in my head (!), I know it's MS.

I have never doubted myself I have always been a very positive person, until they started telling me to see a shrink, I started to question myself and what if I am nuts ok nuttier,

my darling wife never lost faith in me she knew something was wrong with me, she saw my decline in energy and stability, i even told her i am gonna get Parkinson cause my left arm shook, my vision was going and the test showed little to no need for glasses back in 06 by 07 bi focals

the doubt the docs created in me cause they had no answer was wrong, now someone should of, somewhere after 32 ER visits, figured it out why did it take my first ON attack to make them think harder and find it, even my GP knew it was something more but was boggled guess cause I am a guy thats part of it, and was a pretty healthy person in good shape and all, except for the 4 constant SX's i kept having, that was one docs excuse was i am a guy they never suspected it, I for one am pretty sure assuming any thing medically can be a very dangerous way to think and practice medicine
