Went to see Neuro today.

New diagnosis and before diagnosis
#1

Hi everyone,

I went to see a neuro today...my first appointment with one. He asked me about all my symptoms etc....gave me reflex tests...with hammers and pins....said he'd book and MRI scan...but said very unlikely that I have MS...more likely that I may have Fibro or ME...and he will do more tests eventually. I may just have to live with this ...or I could take drugs and have side effects...! I left feeling quite bad. Will just have to wait now. I really don't know what to do.

Try not to be disheartened - the MRI may well prove him wrong! And if it doesn't, at least you'll know it's unlikely to be MS.

One day at a time.
