Hi susie,

Many of us know how frustrating it is to wait for a final diagnosis. And for you, they eliminated everything else, so what else could it be? Right? Well, apparently not.


You do not say how long or what symptoms, but they were eliminating, so what now?  Maybe they are waiting for another attack of a different kind in a new area of the brain, or maybe a particular time period. Maybe . . . but I could guess again and never get it.  MS is so different for each person, anything I guess would just muddy the waters.


Maybe it is time for a chat with your doctors.  They might not be able to give you a time, but they can tell you about their hesitation. They might be questioning if it is MS at all. You should leave that meeting with a clear idea of your status. This may not be easy, but it will be worth it.


I wish you good luck.  Please let us know how you are doing.
