I,m just curious why I have had a dx of my symptoms being neurological but unknown disorder. I,m not sure if its because I started with foot spams( toes completly lock upwards), gait problem, myoclonus ,burning stinging, numbness 2 yrs ago. These have stayed more or less constant. Theres been no change until this year when I started with new symptoms dry eyes, altered sensation in left eye and other stuff lists a bit long if you know what I mean. All my tests two yrs ago were normal yet I was told its neurological.
Did your symptoms completely disappear or were you left with any of them till your recent episode? Or is it the fact that you do take meds that control your symptoms? Did your Dr base Ms on the optic neuritus symptom . Apologies for the length of this. Chris

Thanks a lot that information was very helpful. I have had some constant symptoms as I said but I have had an awful time since Feb with infections of one sort or another plus other symptoms. I have never even considered ms because I thought it showe up stright away and didnt know you could have some constant symptoms. I see my neurologist on Wed this week so Ive got lots of questions which I want to ask. My mobility is quite bad now so Something is definately not right. I appreciate your response  . I normally stay on this board and will post any result I get. Thank you yet again XX Take Care Chris

My diagnoses came after extensive test that ruled other diseases.

My lesions were not detected on MRI's but were detected on visual evoked potentals and the samatosensory evoked potentals.

Not all lesions are detected by MRI's.I had optical neuritis in the right eye in DEC.

My lumbar puncture was a positive marker for MS.

This had been a neurological nightmare DR after DR and test after test.I had a major attack in December that lasted 4 months.Muscle spasms,numbness,electic shocks in my spine,arch of my right foot,inability to use my hands,leg weakness,heavy feeling in legs and arms,fatigue and 2 bouts with bronchitis and 1 with pneumonia.

My symptoms are present daily,some subside but others are chronic and are elevated by heat.

If you have not had any test in 2 years I would push for new ones.MS can present itself with multiple symptoms and lesions not show for years.
