I went to a muscular skeletal doctor for symptoms and a possible herniated disc.  He ordered MRI of spine and later that day told me report of demyelinating disease.  I was referred to a MSologist in Columbus within the month who told me at my first appt. I had MS.  A couple weeks later a brain MRI sealed the deal.  This was all in April of 2011 - quite the shock of my life!  

Thanks to all of you who have helped me along the way!

General neurologist - I'm surprised he diagnosed me.  If I hadn't been a textbook case, I would have been in limbo for years with this guy.  Bleah - I'm glad to be rid of him.  That was in 2007.
