Hi Lisa,
What type of doctor do you see? Does he/she suspect MS? What types of diagnostic tests have you had done?

Sorry to ask you so many questions, but maybe we could help you a little better if we had more info.

It really stinks to hurt all of the time and not have any clear cut answers or treatment.

Hope you feel better.
Julie
