The only thing doctors know for sure is they make more money than we do. That is my opinion. I would definitely see a specialist and get a full work up.

Looking back, I have had this cruddy disease for over 10 years, but wasn't diagnosed until last october. I too had "anxiety". I was also told I was bipolar, that I had thyroid issues, reproductive issues, was sent to a shrink, a chiropractor, a heart doctor, and tried everything short of voo-doo. The MS diagnosis came from what I thought was a pinched nerve causing my leg to go numb.

One thing I have learned if your doctor doesn't listen to you, you have to find one that will. Because doctors who seem to know it all turn out to just be arrogant people who are too busy stroking their own ego to worry about what is really going on with you.

Doctors know how to cash checks

They're only people, those doctors. I suspected BPV (Benign Positional Vertigo) a vestibular Disorder, saw an ENT, No he said, said a Migraine might be it, although I never had headaches. A MS clinic Neuro I saw later couldn't believe ENT (well-known and MS often suspected of being BPV first) got an MRI and didn't see lesions. Opthomalogist , also a neuro- opthmalogist, suspected MS from our casual conversations. Doctors!

They know about as much as we do. They're learning from us.

....

What is invovled in a full work up besides an MRI?
