I had the same thing 3 years ago, couldn't walk and was told if I stood up
straight I would be able to walk, that his MS patients
didn't walk like me. Then he tested my strength and reported it was
weak but he could convince me otherwise. Asked me if I was working
and coping, and when I replied "yes" his response was "so what's your problem?"

Next visit to the University Hospital, the on-call doc phoned him and the neuro
told me to see a psychiatrist that I had a problem so deep in my brain that I
didn't even know I had it. Couldn't get anything from the doctor at the
hospital. First neuro, (the other was my second), looked at my MRI and said
there was no MS and I asked him why I had problems walking, and he said he
didn't know (and basicially didn't care) and that he is telling me I didn't have
MS and coming from him (the top MS Specialist in my province) that that was good
news and go home and live my life. Finally found a 3rd neurologist that is
wonderful, believed me and said to call him if anything comes up (at the visit
nothing showed) so I did call him when I lost use of my left arm and he then
booked another MRI (2 yrs
from first one) and he told me that if you wait 2 years from the 1st
MRI (the one that showed negative lesions) and then something shows,
well you have MS, if nothing shows, your chance of MS is almost not
there, there would be another issue. Well 2nd MRI showed 7 lesions.

Took me 2 years and a lot of mental stress, other docs even
chiropractor told me I had MS but the other 2 neuros are QUACKS and
there are alot of them out there. Hang on and believe what your body tells you.
My symptoms came and went pretty fast and pretty frequent but some stayed for
awahile. Even when they saw I had symptoms they still didn't believe me. You are
not alone out there. Alot of MS chat people have been through it, you are not
CRAZY, keep going to neurologists until you find one that believes in you and
you are comfortable. The average number of nuros is 3 before a MS patient finds
one that suits them. Good luck and again, believe in yourself, they don't have
the disease or the symptoms, they don't always know.
