I have fibro dx. However doctor keeps telling me he thinks I have MS . Since I always feel like truck hit me , I don't even know anymore when I have the flu.
My doctors have been running the same tests over and over. Lupus , MS blood comes back negative for both. But now I am being told they can only tell if it's MS by brain scan. Is that true?

I had panic attacks for two months before I mentioned it to my doctor.

Just thought I was going crazy.

Both my dad and are are a bit big footed and clumsy so more then once one of us has cut our foot on something and wandered around leaving bloody foot prints intil some pointed it out. A crime lab would have a field day in my house because of this.

Yes it is true that to truly diagnose MS you need to have a MRI scan. My daughter in law tested negative for MS on a spinal tap. But with the MRI scan it showed that she had 36 legions on her brain. She has what is termed aggressive progressive. It has taken 5 years to slow the MS down for my DiL.

I went in for an upper back spasm that wouldn't let go and discovered I was type 1 diabetic. The upper back spasm has actually NOT occured since taking insulin so it was a sign(in MY mind!!!)that something more serious was amiss. Redicuously health conscious and happy/healthy now!!!! Could be worse!

ooh-ooh-forgive me-just thought of something I did that scared me!!! I started pee'ing red for 2 days and was horrified and kept blaming it on the jar of pickled garlic I had eaten the day before(yes I know- a whole jar-I have eating issues but I am healthy!) and was nearing panic and wanting to make an appointment when it OCCURRED to me finally that I had eaten about 2 pounds of fresh baked beets the day before also(I grow the garlic and beets). It is funny now but my worry at the time was pitiful.
