Neuro has said my symptoms (peripheral vision loss, brain lesions, bladder incontinence, abnormal evoked potentials) mean "clinically probable MS" as I meet 2/3 of the McDonald criteria. However, normal spinal tap and no active demyelination spots mean no definite diagnosis. (I think...neuro hasn't actually taken the time to explain everything to me.)
I have to admit, the whishy-washiness of the diagnostic criteria is hard for me. I feel as if I'd be much more at ease knowing one way or the other whether I have MS or not.
Regardless, I'm starting IV Steroids next week, but I'm worried we may just be settling on MS. Is that a valid concern?
It's also hard for me to not know what to expect next, which from my reading seems like something I'm just going to have to get over.
