After many monhts of strange symptoms liek so many of you and MRI's and Spinal Tasp I finally got my answer. Its something we were expecting but hearing it was still tough. Last month I went to a Neuro who told me my ON, dizzinses, and all other symptoms wsa stress related and not MS, even though my MRI shows lesions. He said bc my spinal tap wsa clear that it was MS and that my ON was a sign that I may get MS in 10 years. I thought my husband was going to strangle him when he said it was all stress. He never asked me any questions about my history and spent a total of 10 mins with us. Today the Neuro spent over 45 mins going over my history and family history and then spent 30 mins doing a physical and then talked to us again for about 15 mins. He was wonderful and was actually upset to have to tell me it was MS. It was like we had to let him know it was OK, very nice man adn very thorouhg.
I'm goign back in 2 weeks to discuss meds. Whiel part of me is relievved to know what it is and that its not in my head... another part of me feels shocked.
Thanks for all of yuo who have helped me and answered questions I've had overr the past few months.
