How were you diagnosed? - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

What tests did you have that confirmed it for your doctor that you had MS? I've had numbness, burning and vibrating symptoms in arms and legs now 16 months. Brain and spinal MRI were OK as was EMG. Did discover I am diabetic but family physician does not think that is the cause since I am not that bad! Neurologist and Neuro surgeon both said no MS but they never did spinal tap. I continue to be numb - was told it could be my flu shot I had 4 weeks before the numbness started.

MRI's after my second severe flair it was confirmed as MS. That was 4 years of Limboland DXed due to 2nd flair.

Peace
