Closer to diagnosis

Hi all!  I have been following posts off and on for a while, and have been keeping all of you in prayer.  WAnted to share that I am getting closer and closer to a diagnosis.  I saw the MS Specialist this past Tuesday and we went over blood test results that again ruled out mimics.  I also had another Celiac panel done.  Some of you may remember I have Celiac disease and they were trying to determine if that was causing the neuro symptoms.  This was my 3rd Celiac Panel.  All of them have come back negative, meaning I have been following my diet and it is highly unlikely the Celiac is causing the symptoms.

I had another exam done which showed more weakness on left side, vision dim in left eye, hyper relfexes left leg.  He said he feels MS will be the diagnosis, and we are at a wait and see stage right now.  I go back in January for MRIs.  He said as soon as a lesion is seen I will be diagnosed.  He tried to look over my MRIs with me again more slowly but the girls at the desk couldn't find them. I don't know if they found them after I left or not.

He did say that if I experience any new or worsening symptoms to call him and he will get me in immediately.  I feel this is the closest I've been to finding out what's going on and I'm so thankful for my Specialist sincerely wanting to help me.  

I pray you all are doing well and thank you so much for all of your support!

Glad you found this doctor. I had the lesions but mine would not call it for a year and a half.
