I would get 2nd, 3rd, 4th......and however opinions I could to satisfy me. You don't say why you think you have MS. Have you had an MRI?

I agree with Marilee, have you had an MRI? its an easy test and can help to diagnose whether this is MS or not. I dont know if it -or any test- is the end-all be-all , but hopefully it will give some insight.
In any event, sorry to hear you are suffering, but even if you get the MS diagnosis lets say, you still need to get multiple opinions as stated below and keep trying different treatments/medecines until you find what helps you.
To be honest in my case, i am dx'd with MS and STILL dont have the right medicine to fix the symptoms i suffer from daily such as lightheadedness, fatigue and insomnia. And yes I have tried every single sleep medecine! so far we're on restoril and honestly its just a trial and error game sad to say.
Hang in there though, you will find what works eventually!
