What tests and how long did everyone wait to get "officially" diagnosed with MS? I have been in testing nearly 2 years. I have had 4 different Dr's say they belief it is and one is even the neurologist.

This gives examples of where lesions typical of ms form in the brain.

My brain lesions are non-specific, which is why my neurologist didn't use the brain MRIs to conclude ms, but rather he used history in absence of flares and spinal MRIs. History is not just symptoms, but also test results. For me that included a positive ebv titer and a more current deficiency in vitamin D. Did you had what your neurologist considers a flare?
Oh D3 and B12 are common deficiencies. I don't think iron is relevant.
D3 and B12 vital.
It took 40 years for me to be diagnosed with MS. I was 63 years old when a neurologist who sets up all the clinical trials for the state of Nevada diagnosed me from a MRI I had 3 years before.The neurologist at the time said lessons were from old age.
Common tale I'm afraid. I'm thrilled you were finally dxd.
