I found the site very helpful! Thank-you! I just can't see how it could be anything but MS after reading it; the few things that I did not consider related to MS (double vision/leg weakness getting worse when I'm tired/hot, MRI does not pick up early stages of mS, Lassitude, swallowing prob. maily getting food stuck in throat or going down slowly-it takes me about 2 hrs to eat!) were proved to be part of it.I also ought to have a lesion on my C-spine b/c I have L'hermittes, so maybe I don't have to wait long!

Thank-you so much! You have given me renewed confidence in what I felt all along (I DO have mS, just need time and more tests to find it; I don't believe all these similarities between my symptoms and MS are a coincidence!).
I wonder sometimes if since I am interested in the medical field and display a knowledge of medical subject matter if these docs think I read about MS and tried to make it fit or then noticed my symptoms or if I am taking what I've read (how to describe symptoms) to them. It is so frustrating not to be belived; until last night I did not KNOW (for sure) that those things I listed were definitely a part of MS.
