All this has been going on for 4 years. I do not stumble and fall. I walk well. In fact, I am more comfortable moving around than I am sitting.

Anyone ever hear of these kind of symptoms for MS?
I thought that MS can be diagnosed through MRI, you had your MRI but your doctor still "suspects" to be MS? Is the reason for your lumbar puncture to confirm presence or absence of MS?
