So I went and got my MRI done on my brain with and without dye. My neurologist seemed to just want to call it fibromyalgia and call it a day from the get go. The results came back and said there are "scattered juxtacortical foci of increased signal seen on FLAIR imaging." The neurologist says I don't think this is MS, I think it's Fibromyalgia. I think you should just go to a Rheumatologist, have him slap a Fibromyalgia diagnosis on you and call it a day. So right at the end of my visit he say here, I'll send you for a MRI for your spine and neck. My question is do I spend the money on the spinal/neck MRI for a doctor that already has it in his head it's Fibromyalgia or should I just find a Rheumatologist and see what happens there?
