Other tests

Hi all,

Just wondering how you were all diagnosed? By MRI alone or other tests?
Seeing my neurologist tomorrow after having MRI so just curious x

Hello @lornak21
Just the MRI and lumber puntucture, I had done, to confirm my multiple sclerosis.
Good luck,
JP

Thank you. I’m scared I can’t lie x

For me it was just an MRI which showed ‘quite a few lesions’ in my brain ( an MRI plus ‘presenting’ with optic neuritis)

Symptoms and an MRI. I had ‘fizzy feet’ and some numb patches of skin so went to the GP who referred me to a neuro. I had had optic neuritis about ten years before but at the time there was no mention of MS.

Clinical history + clinical exam + one MRI = MS in my case.

To make the dx super-secure, the neurologist wanted to do an LP as well, so that’s what happened. That confirmed matters.

How did you get on? Hope all went ok.
