Hi Rich and welcome.
Sounds like you are having the appropriate tests, etc. and you are building a foundation for a diagnosis. Good luck and I hope it isn't MS. I don't think anyone can tell you how long you might have to spend in limboland. I've read where people have went from 30 days to 15 years before getting answers. I, myself, have been drudging around about a year trying to get answers, but have had symptoms for about 3 years. It's always heartbreaking to see someone as young as yourself fighting this curse.
And yes, wish we could have met under different circumstances, but I believe everything happens for a reason and everything works out for the best! Good luck Rich and keep posting, we need each other.
Serya
