Although my signs and symptoms are pretty classic MS (I was told) and most everyone thought I had MS, lack of evidence on MRI is causing Dr. to look in new direction. My doctor called me in yesterday so I could be checked for parathyroid disorder. Apparently the increased calcium can cause muscle and neuro symptoms.
Also waiting for EMG to see if this is peripheral nerve disease. There is one that can be relapsing and remitting but it is much rarer than MS.
Now thinking MS is often the first go to diagnosis as it is so common. Unfortunately docs don't always consider other avenues when MS fails to meet the test. Too bad...maybe I wouldn't be here looking 8 years later.
