That's half my challenge - they weren't. Until I got medicaid no neurologist would see me, so tests where really not what needed to be done or viewed by the appropriate specialists. Finally got an appointment next month to see a neurologist - And am sure they will figure out the reason. But after over a year in a chair I am sure that won't change - So I just focus on moving forward and making the best of it!!!!
And yes, MS is hard to diagnose - And can hide if the tests being preformed aren't read right or detailed enough. But weither it be MS or something else - it doesn't change what is. My primary care doctor now is also an internal medicine specialist. He knows there is something auto immune with some other problems such as incontinence, liver issues, GI issues, vertigo, and other symptoms that are vague - I trust him to figure things out, in the mean time I just move forward as I have learned from my animals.
