Have not been diagnosed yet

I haven’t been diagnosed yet, but MS has all my symptoms. I am a veteran so all my doctors are through the VA. Right now they’re thinking that my dizziness is caused by the balls in my ear. My tiredness is lack of vitamin B 12. My body aches are lack of water. Concentration sucks and tightness in my back is stress. And a new symptom is every night I get really hot and sweat, but it goes away in 10 mins. They are treating the symptoms separately. What are the beginning test to diagnose MS?

First you are going to need to see a neurologist (be very instant) the neurologist will problem start off preforming a series of tests called evoked potential which are little tests they use to determine how quickly your brain is receiving messages from touch, sight, sound, so on. If you "fail" any of these (to slow) you will be sent for an MRI to confirm.
