Hello

I'm a 67 yr. old retired nurse who has had MS since a diagnosis in 1994 after many years of doctors guessing at my diagnosis since no lesions showed on my MRI. A really remarkable neuro was like a detective, and said he did not doubt I had MS with my symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia, numbness in my legs and hands, tremors and spasms in my legs and feet. Without his support, I would have been like a dangling participle. I know MS can take years to diagnose without showing directly on an MRI. Has anyone else had this experience?
