I have had 3 different "issues" throughout 6 years of MS Symptoms.  I just had an MRI of brain and Spine both "Negative"  I have been tested for lymes, copper, b12, this and that and then some more all negative...

What do I do now?  The neuor says we have rulled all out but still looking.  Do I have to wait for bad mri to be diagnosised?  SHould I just move on and let it be?  SUggestions please..  Symptons: Blurry vision, heav legs change in gait Fatigue like Im on drugs, itching and well depression of sorts. What do I do now?

    Hi Wendy,the Dr/Specialist thought I could have a possible myelin disorder due to similar symptoms,dizzy spells,dropping things,headaches etc.

    All my tests have come back clear. They think it could be a chemical inbalance . Ive been put on amatryptaline which seem to be effective up to now.

    Hows your vitamin b intake?

    Get your vitamins B12 and D tested. Have you been outdoors much where you may have gotten tick bites? If so, get tested for Lyme disease, make sure it is the Western blot test which is more accurate.

    A B12 deficiency can mimic MS. Be sure to get your actual number, don't let the doctor simply tell you yours is within normal range as you are experiencing neurological issues. Levels below 450 pg/nL (ng/L in the UK) can give neurological symptoms so if yours is in the gray area of 200 - 450 you may need treatment. You may need to see a naturopathic doctor to get treatment if yours is in this range as traditional doctors only treat by the numbers, not symptoms. If you are low/deficient, get tested for pernicious anemia, the test must be run before getting any B12 supplements.

    Have you had your spinal fluid tested?

    What are your actual symptoms?

    Have you seen a rheumatologist?

    There are many more diseases than MS. Honestly, I wasn't diagnosed until I had a bout of Transverse Myelitis. I thought it could be lupus or RA or Hashimoto's. That's what runs in my family. I'm the first to get MS. I had never heardof MS before my diagnosis.

    My brother has Complex Regional Pain Disorder.
