So were you officially diagnosed with MS?
Thank you. The Dr is a Neurologist and a Professor at a University. Her specialty is MS. While I respect her knowledge I do not agree as I am not a “Text Book”. There are exceptions to every rule. I question why she omitted a scan and Radiology report
@A MyMSTeam Member What does he really know about MS? He should know that every sclerosis on your brain or spinal cord will affect some part of you, some minimally, some serious. Your symptoms are Important! I totally agree with Tiffany, @A MyMSTeam Member, ask gently for a second opinion, a definite diagnosis, and assistance for your symptoms.

Much love and a big figurative hug! xxxx
@A MyMSTeam Member it is very overwhelming. Have you had a spinal tap? That was what confirmed my diagnosis. Get a second opinion from a different doctor if you can. Please don’t stop advocating for yourself. It’s exhausting but worth it !!
