Where to go from here!

I was diagnosed with MS in 2005 and put on disability the following year at 38 yrs old. My business was thriving. I was and still am active and enjoyed traveling. It came crashing down after the birth of my second son. I was hospitalized and things didn't get better. I began seeing a neuro and it wasn't until the MRI that the lesion showed up on my spine. Remember this was 20-some years ago. I was then told that only 10% of patients with MS show lesions on the spine when my doctor retired after a few yrs. and I began seeing a new Dr. during this whole time my health was not improving and I was receiving SSDI. I had to walk away from the business I owned. New MRI showed the lesions on the spine and 1 new small lesion on my brain. In 2020 I changed neurologist again. She ordered all the same tests, only 1 change the little lesion had gotten bigger. Because of covid our apps. We're online. That app. day was and still is the most devasting days of my life. She told me that I do not have M.S. She said according to the Mcdonald chart I have to have a lesion in all 4 chambers. I felt sick to my stomach. It would be really good news if I didn't have All of the challenges. I do. I am not improving only now zi have extreme dizziness. Sorry so long anyone else have a similar experience?
