Anyone get diagnosed years after being told it’s not MS?

To begin, I had a craniotomy in 2014 to remove a benign brain tumor from the left frontal lobe that was causing vision loss, the worst migraines I’ve ever had, and many other issues. Since 2020, I’ve noticed random nerve pain in other places on my body outside of my head. Random hot spots that feel ...

Activities have to be done in small increments with rest in between. I have to hold everything with two hands not to drop things. I have brok...

Neurologist

So I just went to see my neurologist. I explained my symptoms to her (as I do each time I see her) and I feel that she completely downplays my symptoms. I.e. the constant pain I feel...she says that it has nothing to do with MS...the heat intolerance...the lapse in memory....etc. Have you experience...
