Thank you

There seem to be so many similar symptoms with Fibro and MS.

I have told my DH that when I die, i want an autopsy! Then they can write on my headstone "She was right"

In NZ, it is difficult to get another opinion with a neurologist. They all work in the same hospital.

Feeling rotten at present. Amitriptyline not helping Guess I head back to my family doctor, more rolling eyes and try something else.

Take care
Lesley

By this point, if you had MS it should be obvious by your MRI.

I did an informal poll recently, and 100% of the people with mild to moderate MS-like symptoms were either dx within the first 18 months (most within 6 months), or the only reason they weren't was because they didn't have a MRI (by choice, or lack of cooperation by their doctor).

Insist on a MRI.
