Sharon, I do not have an MS diagnosis. I've had one doctor say that she couldn't rule it out. Even the woman I spoke with at the MS Society said that there is a very small percentage of MS patients who do not show lesions. For now, it is being called FMS. Some fibro patients do have neurological symptoms. However, it's impossible to find a doctor who even will say that FMS is real and not all in your head. I have my lung stuff going on. Strangely, though, my lungs sound clear most of the time when the doctors listen to them. But, I do struggle with breathing at times. Also, I have Graves Disease. My thryoid seems to cycle between being overactive and underactive. Currently, I'm on medication to treat the underactivity. Also, I have CFS. Chronic Fatigue

Syndrome. I really have to watch how I expend my energy. For example, I have a Parent to Parent meeting tomorrow. If my PT appointment had been scheduled for tomorrow instead of today, I would have to reschedule my PT appointment if I want to go to the meeting. I have neurological symptoms. They come and go; but, when my fatigue is at a high level, my symptoms get worse. Donna in WA
