"I have been hesitant to post an update as I basically have been in disbelief. Diagnosed in 12/18 with MS after many years of doctor's telling me ll symptoms pointed to MS but never diagnosed. I was not looking looking for diagnosis but stumbled upon it when my orthopedist pushed me to a neurologist as he suspected MS. I am 71. Exam and brain scan told neurologist to diagnose me with MS. He was unable to answer my questions, said does not treat after age 60 and sent me to a MS clinic at a large teaching hospital. Neurologist said exam and scan was abnormal. She consulted with other doctors, gathered old records and said my scan has an bandit amount of scarring BUT it is not MS because it does not have black dots in the scan. So undiagnosed me, has concerns as this problem started too young with no obvious cause. She will follow me and eventually do a new scan. Can anyone shed some light on what the scan looks like for MS? I am okay with no MS for sure not sure who to believe."
