Hey again Joshua, (I just responded to your other post)
It's understandable that you are scared and looking for another explanation, but i really think you need to not forget the evidence you must have, in order for your MS specialist, to be confident in dxing you with MS. There are a few ways to tell the difference, where you brain lesions are located is important, they can tell if the lesions are new demyelinating lesions or old, how they look, size etc all indicates the type of lesions a person has and that helps determine causation.
Breath!
Please consider calling your MS specialist and talking about your worry that its something else instead, i am sure he/she will help explain exactly why he/she believes you have MS, having that knowledge may go a long way to relieve some of your anxiety.
Hugs...........JJ
