Here's a couple things I found out about diagnosing MS.

They look for certain bands in the spinal fluid sample. But 20% of all MS patients show normal spinal fluid samples.

They also look for scatered lesions in the white matter with at least one lesion in the corpus callosum in your MRI.

Have they performed an MRI on you?

My VA Neurologist kept doing/taking tests,,(he also has bene subsribing me proponolo and Cloneazepam) and calling in his superiors to checks me... then, last week they did a new brain MRI to check to see if that will tell them more of what i suffer from....

so, hopefully, later this coming week the Brain MRI will show if it is MS..) in about 1981 I had an MRI of the brain for trmeors, headaches, and ote rproblems on active duty from chmicalc exposure. Over the last few years the doctors and nurses have noted al the neuro problems I suffer from, including periods of time where i am unable to care for myself because I lose ocntrol of muscles, arms, legs, hands, speech..

I had lost most of my ,uscles and weight becaus eof pancreas disease, and was even diagnosis with mytonic dystrophy when that was severe.. but the involuneteray movements and intestinal disease, balnce, gait, enuropathy numb limbs... swollen limbs.. and hte list goes forever... maybe the brain MRI wil help clear up what helse is wrong,,

then I can add the diagnosis to my current claims... (during or after the appeals.. I don't want the appeals to be stopped... only if thye can be added before they make new decsions..
