Blood tests and MS

Hi all,
just a very quick question that hopefully has a simple answer lol

just wondering if anything odd shows up on blood
tests for patients diagnosed with MS?

Planning to grab a coffee..oops a copy but obviously i need a coffee too lol. Just wondering if blood test results can be a clue to a positive diagnosis of MS or if it just rules out a few diff things that have nothing to do with the original theory?


They are normal I was told but totally expected that

Oh I hope so Alex, how great would that be especially if they said "and take this it'll cure you!"

Ditto no blood tests point to MS. They are working on one now. In the future they will diagnose MS with a blood test and find out which DMD would work best for you. They will look at the way MS id diagnosed now and shake their heads.

Blood tests are for ruling out possible mimics, vitamin deficiencies, etc., but no, there is no blood test that suggests ms.
