For 20 years I have been dealing with weakness, numbness, tingling, unable to use my arm or legs for periods of time, severe bladder issues, cognitive difficulties, and on one of my MRIs it showed I have demyelination on my spine.

My doctors have said they think I have MS but because I don't have any lesions they won't diagnose me and give me the treatment I need. Even though I've been dealing with all the other symptoms for 20 years, I'm very frustrated because I could be on a treatment to help me and also I deal with muscle spasms as well. Can someone please help me?
