MS diagnosis
My neurologist has diagnosed me with MS. The MS specialist she referred me to doesn't think I have MS. But I have soooooo many symptoms, and lesions in more than one place. Work is being a pain

Well that’s confusing. May be ask for someone else from the neurologist?
I was diagnosed in my 50s and from experience I think they are more reluctant to give a diagnosis because it doesn’t fit the typical patient in their 20s or 30s. But if you get enough MRIs that show it then it’s easier for them to diagnose. Also, many of the drugs haven’t been tested on older patients and can have more complications as we age so there is that to consider too.
