Hello, Joe,

Lots of info in layman's terms found here:

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple-Sclerosis/MS-Information-and-Resour\

ces-Index/show/22?cid=36

Scroll down and follow the links.

Two especially helpful sections:

DIAGNOSING MS

Ruling Out the Diseases that Look Like MS

&

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DIAGNOSIS YET

You may want to take someone with you to the appointment to take notes. Having

a trusted advocate in the room makes it easier to ask questions of the doctor.

Pituitary, but went the extra mile by also writing down an MRI of the brain in

general. So they found 3 lesions, one 9mm, one 8 mm, and one 6 mm. They also

said that it was highly suspicious that this was caused by MS, due " to the age

of the patient. " I am 23. So, here I am, going from low t levels to possible MS.
