I am with my third neuro. My second neuro told me he thinks I have ms, but can't make a definitive diagnosis, so he sent me to an ms specialist. Initially he also thought it was ms, but my mri's came back clean last April. Told me to come back in a year to redo the mri's to see if there are any changes.
I went back last week because I was having trouble standing for just short periods of time and having a lot of pain in my legs. By he end of the day it was nearly unbearable. My neuro said all my symptoms appear to be ms, but without lesions showing up in the mri and then having a positive test with a spinal tap, they could not consider it ms.
She scheduled me for another mri this week and another nerve conduction study and put me on Gabapentin. The Gabapentin appears to be helping with the pain, but I feel weaker and trembly. Has anyone had any similar experiences. I've been on this search for a diagnosis for about 2 1/2 years now and just seem to be progressively getting worse with no explanaation.
