i have been told that i may have ms, that i need to do the spinal tap or that i could wait and see if some of the symptoms i have appear again.  I opted to wait cause i really don't want the needle in my back.  Im having weird symptoms and they want to do the spinal tap but i won't let them.  It shows up in an mri or i don't do anything. so there!

Trav has also been told he may have ms. Apperantly it's very hard to diagnose, because even if you do get an MRI (Or 2 or 3 or 10) , the lesions that are the tell-tale sign of MS dissapear and re-appear, making the MRI a test of chance.
 
Good luck, hun!

Cat I am so sorry I didn't see this!!!!!!  Please take a look at my Dr visit post in General.  I was so surprised that it is all fibro as I was worried it was something else too!!!  Several Dr.s thought I had MS too.  We need to chat :)

I agree with you Trouble :) Yes I will forgive your french LOL  A big problem with fibro is it is so hard to figure out.  It has syptoms from everywhere and most of them are just the start.  Others seem to spring forth just as the vision troubles, muscle problems.  They start one way and depending on the person and what they do and how their body reacts it goes on to other things.  Sadly because fibro is so misunderstood most of us have gone through the search to find what is "really" wrong with us or what else do I have?  I know a lot here have more then one problem but I also know each of us have different fibro problems and the worse part is they never seem happy to stay the same :(
 
I would love to have regular discussions about this as I think it will help us all :)
