Am I alone???

I am 48 years old. My mother had MS. I have been experiencing MS symptoms steady since October of 2010. I have seen 2 neurologists and my PCP. My PCP ordered a CAT scan that showed atropy. The 1st neuro. ordered an MRI without contrast that he said came back clear. I requested a second opinion due to the symptoms that I am experiencing being so steady. The 2nd neuro. showed me the 1 area of white matter on the MRI. Bloodwork has been done. The only thing that showed up was a low B12 but I also have Crohns and have had low B12 for years. I have days that I am unable to walk. I fall down. I am always off balance. I have double vision alot. I have great difficulty processing my thoughts. I have trouble staying focused. I used to be able to multitask without any problems and now I can hardly tie my shoes by myself some days. I have done alot of research and I know that MS is difficlut to diagnose but it seems to me that most of the puzzle pieces are there. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
