Hello, after running a few tests i came out negative for MS. I was wondering if it were possible to test positive after testing negative for MS. It's a touchy subject because my aunt has MS and it worries me because i had many symtoms of it.

Please.. somebody get back to me on this subject.

Hi, MissKikxzYO. You should let us know what type of doctor (or doctors) you've seen, what tests were administered and what your symptoms are.

Specifically in terms of a normal MRI, the disease causes lesions, not the other way around so yes, it is possible for nothing to show immediately.

If you give us more info. it would be helpful.

I think because MS is so difficult to diagnose that it's very well possible you were as well. Not to say you have MS, I couldn't possibly know but 2nd opinions are there for a reason. If it was a neuro who ruled out MS to begin with then it couldn't hurt to see another neuro, one who specializes in MS. If you get another negative result then you're probably in the clear.

Definitely get a second opinion!! I had had symptoms for about 5 years before a Dentist and a Neuro finally put everything today. They treated every sympton seperately. Get a good doc who will take the time to look at everything, and just stay in touch with them. I know I can call my doc, and 98% of the time, he calls me right back, so I have no complaints with him.

Just keep in good spirits, always look at the bright side of things, and stay on top of things.

Good luck!

thank you so much for your reply on my questions. I have been losing feeling in my hands and from my waist down.. real bad back pains.. horrible headaches =/ depression.. anxiety.. i get very dizzy and light headed at times. I lose my balance out of no where.. my eye sight has been getting blurry.. i also get wierd sensations in my hands, back, and legs.. one of my doctors told me i have muscle spasms all in my back.. i constantly get pain in my ribs.. chest pains.. loss of breath and my hands shake for no reason. I find this all so hard to deal with because i'm only sixteen. First thing on monday im calling the specialist that deals with my aunt and her MS. Im going to get all sorts of test done. The pain is unbearable and is causing so much stress. But i know i have to try and think the best of all that going on. Once again.. thank you for your help. :angel:

16 is a hard time and MS can make it even harder. I was 18 when I was finally diagnosed, but looking back at my notorious foot drop, I think it was 15-16. I know what you are feeling and Miami, FL?? is a miserable place to be due to the heat affect. All that sun and you have to stay in! Well, at least a nice ocean breeze will help.

I am glad to see that you are calling a specialist. On a positive note, my original MS doctor told me that the younger the initial onset the better the chance for long term remission. I had 2 bad years and 18 terrific years. I hope that you can enjoy a lifetime of remission! I will remember you in my prayers. :angel:

I just wanted to let you know that you are never alone. Until you see a Specialist and have the necessary tests done, there will be moments when you do feel anxious, but don't let that get the better of your positive outlook. You have just won half of your current circumstance by admitting that the only way is up, and to think the best - positive mindset! You mention this is a sensitive issue in the family...have you considered chatting with your Aunt? Sometimes talking to someone is a relief point.

I was told when I joined this forum that I and everyone else is not alone, so be encouraged, you are definitely not alone. Keep that positive mindset, get good rest and take care. Praying for you too!
