Found my original post: Makes for interesting reading, following a year of dealing with MS Doctor & Nurses, researching, learning and wising up.

A year of being fobbed off. I was determined to accelerate the process yet they’ve “won” in one sense. The One year review has come around and they’ve managed to achieve f-all. No definitive diagnosis and no meds. Reading the experiences of others on here and elsewhere, their pleas and excuses about covid are lies - they’ve been playing this game for decades, well before covid…

So, is there a definitive test for SP v PP, which would work irrespective of medical history (or lack of)?
