I have been in limbo since 2008, yup that long!
I actually got diagnosed in 2006 and got put on meds. My diagnosis was taken back in 2008. My doctor simply said that I probably had a virus or have "static encephaly" which means my condition wont change. I changed neuros. My new neuro said I probably never had MS and referred my to an infectious disease specialist, who told me that my first neuro likes to diagnose "everyone" with MS.
I went to a PT for neck issues and he was alarmed at how weak my left side of the body was and how bad my balance was.
I went back to my neuro and he was super annoyed with me, but ordered an MRI and VER test. Still waiting for results.
I really want an answer...6 months ago I was playing ice hockey, now I can barely climb down a flight of stairs or write my name. What ever I have has certainly progessed!
Best of luck to you, you are not alone in this limbo mess!
I'm so sorry we are all hanging out in "limbo land", although I played the game ad nauseam with my kids, I'd much prefer to be hanging out in "Candy Land" these days! ;-)
Wow, 2013...I took a peak at your blog, what a great idea and healthy way to express your frustrations aspentoo!
So sorry to hear you are no further along in getting a diagnosis Linda!
And yes Joiedecour , whatever hair I haven't already pulled out...is starting to prematurely gray from all of this stress...ugh!
I pray we all get answers of some sort soon!

Also in limbo here ... I so identify with the crazy. I blog for therapy. Just laying low after my lumbar puncture yesterday -- neurologist said that finally, "it is time". I've been in limbo since January 2013 -- how long have you all been treading water?
Hugs for both of you from another one tearing her hair out from the crazy circular reasoning of neurology!! We'll get there. Although where is may be anyone's guess!
I sure hope you can get some answers, Karen. I am in limboland still, too, and it's so frustrating. Hang in there.
