So I go back to my MS Specialist on Monday to get all my test results. I am really hoping to find out if I have MS or some sort of mimic.
GP sent me to regular neuro, who then sent me to MS Specialist. Both of them do not think I have MS, but rather celiac which is irritating my brain and causing all my symptoms. Neither did any tests, just basing it on my history. I thought it was a bizarre theory given I had an attack eight years ago with a complete, spontaneous recovery and continued to eat gluten. Only had a second attack six months ago and have made a partial recovery while continuing to eat gluten as well.
My GP wasn't happy I was questioning their theory and told me if I wanted to get better I should cut out gluten. Again thought it was odd as I hadn't even had the test yet.
MS Specialist did not buy into their theory, but ran the celiac test anyway. In two days we will know if the celiac theory was right and what the other test results are.
This is the second regular neuro I have seen and the second time I have had conflicting opinions. First neuro said I had two lesions and they meant nothing. Said he thought I had a thyroid problem. The thyroid tests were all negative and the MS Specialist said no there were five lesions and they were likely caused by MS.
I can't believe regular neurologists have such differing opinions from MS specialists who are also neuroloigsts. Who the heck do you believe and are the MS specialist really the most qualified to make a diagnosis??
